Gone are the days of stroke having only two outcomes - death or disability - now that we have a window of time to treat what still is very much a medical emergency. For Stroke Awareness Month, Dr. Priya Narwal, medical director of UConn Health's stroke program, joins Dr. Anthony Alessi to discuss how stroke care, recovery, and even prevention have evolved over the years, how the UConn Health Stroke Center harnesses that expertise, and why it remains critically important to "BE FAST."
There are times when I'll see someone in the hospital and they come to see me in office and I don't recognize them because that's how much better they're doing, just with rehab alone. — Dr. Priya Narwal
