Stroke Services and Locations

Both Berkshire Medical Center and Fairview Hospital are designated by the state Department of Public Health as Primary Stroke Centers, which means they meet rigorous standards of stroke diagnosis and care and are approved to administer t-PA to eligible patients. If given promptly, t-PA can significantly reduce the effects of stroke and reduce permanent disability.

In addition to inpatient care, both facilities have comprehensive rehabilitation services designed to help stroke victims recover to their greatest potential.
