Stroke Program Ranking

MCG Health System

Medical Director of Neurology Dr. David Hess, who was recently recognized by Castle Connolly Publishers as one of America�s Top Doctors for stroke treatment, explained that much of the success of the program can be credited to a teamwork approach. "As soon as our patients are brought to the Emergency Department, our team of nurses, doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, radiology technicians and the case manager combine expertise to provide the best care possible," Dr. Hess said.
