Adventist Health White Memorial pursues Comprehensive Stroke Center certification

We are proud to announce that Adventist Health White Memorial has begun its journey to become a Comprehensive Stroke Center. This certification will significantly enhance our ability to treat stroke patients, not only with medication but also with advanced interventions such as mechanical thrombectomy and other surgical procedures.

Under the leadership of our new Neuroendovascular Surgery Medical Director, Dr. Zachary Rollins Barnard, and in partnership with our Stroke Director, Dr. Antonio Liu, our stroke team has already successfully completed multiple neuroendovascular surgery procedures. We are working diligently to reach the next phase of certification by the new year.

Achieving this certification will be a significant milestone for our Primary Stroke Center at AHWM. It will allow us to provide continuous care for our stroke patients while also receiving patients from other hospitals and our community who require advanced stroke care.
