Stroke Care at Pickerington Methodist Hospital

Every minute counts

Early treatment with medications like tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or tenecteplase (TNK) can minimize brain damage in stroke patients. Other treatments focus on limiting complications and preventing additional strokes.

• During a stroke, patients can lose approximately 1.9 million brain cells every minute.¹
• Every 15-minute delay can significantly reduce the chances of recovery.
