Cooper University Health Care, a leading academic health system, provides complete neuroscience care to patients from all over the region. Our team of experts offers the latest diagnostic testing and novel treatment options for conditions ranging from general and complex neurological disorders to neurological emergencies, in addition to advanced rehabilitative services.
The Most Advanced Stroke Care Possible
The Cooper Neurological Institute's Stroke Program was recently awarded The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Heart-Check mark for Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stroke Centers. The Gold Seal of Approval® and the Heart-Check mark represent hospitals with the highest level of stroke care and are symbols of quality from their respective organizations. Cooper is one of only seven hospitals in New Jersey and the only one in South Jersey to achieve this significant certification.
Cooper is transforming neurological care in the region with the opening of a new, dedicated Acute Stroke and Neuro Interventional Suite within its Emergency Department. We are the first comprehensive stroke center in the United States equipped with the latest generation Siemens biplane angiography system with an integrated CT scanner and fully integrated surgical image guidance, allowing minimally invasive intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation procedures. The unit is designed to treat emergent and non-emergent forms of cerebrovascular disease, including acute stroke of any type, cerebral aneurysms, carotid artery disease, and other serious conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord.
