This symposium, hosted by University of Michigan Health-West, focuses on the entire continuum of stroke care—from pre-hospital assessment and acute intervention to rehabilitation and long-term prevention. The 2025 iteration emphasizes a multidisciplinary “systems of care” approach, highlighting how different specialties (EMS, ED, Neurology, Nursing, Rehab) collaborate to improve patient outcomes. It serves as a regional hub for networking and education, ensuring that local providers are aligned with the latest national guidelines and University of Michigan Health standards.
