STROKE CARE WHEN IT MATTERS
Jillian was at work preparing for a meeting when she suddenly began to feel extremely
dizzy and confused. She then felt weakness on the right side of her body. Suspecting a
stroke, Jillian was transported to Broward Health North’s Comprehensive Stroke Center
where she was treated with tPA, a medication used to treat the blood clot causing
the stroke. After making a full recovery, Jillian was back to work within a week.
Despite having a stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jillian’s care was not interrupted.
She was confident in the care that she received from Broward Health North.
