Each year, nearly 800,000 Americans suffer a new or recurrent stroke. That means on average, a stroke occurs every 40 seconds.  Time is brain, so it’s critically important that treatment be started fast.  But knowing who to turn to for help and recovery can be just as critical.  Fortunately, you now have access to the one of the best neuroscience teams in the world nearby at the Silver Cross Neuroscience Institute.

Dr. Harish Shownkeen, Medical Director of the Neurointerventional Surgery program at Silver Cross, will discuss the latest minimally invasive treatment and recovery options for new and recurrent strokes Tuesday, Feb. 19.  Stroke: State-of-the-Art Treatment Options will be held in the Silver Cross Hospital Conference Center, Pavilion A, 1890 Silver Cross Blvd., New Lenox from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.  Call 1-888-660-HEAL or register here  for the free program.
