Neurocritical Care

Expert Neurocritical Care

Our multidisciplinary team is recognized for providing expert neurocritical care using a multidisciplinary approach. Wellstar is the leading provider of stroke and aneurysm services in the state, and performs one of the highest numbers of thrombectomy and aneurysm treatments in the country. This allows us to provide efficient, high-quality, personalized care to every patient — every time. We aim to be a trusted partner for patients, emergency services and other hospitals that require a higher level of care for their patients after a stroke, aneurysm or brain injury.

Specialized neurological units

Patients with the most complex stroke cases are cared for in Neuro Intensive Care Units at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital and Wellstar North Fulton Hospital. These specialized units are staffed by a multidisciplinary team of neurocritical care physicians, advanced practice providers and critical care registered nurses. These experts are fully dedicated to treating patients who have experienced strokes, aneurysms or other life-threatening neurological conditions.

Nationally-recognized care

Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center and Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center are nationally-recognized for their high level of neurocritical care with Beacon Awards for Excellence by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. Only a small number of units in Georgia hold this distinction.

Follow-up care

After experiencing a stroke, it’s important to see a neurologist quickly for follow-up care. Our neurocritical care team works closely to connect with a neurologist and start neurological rehabilitation quickly after discharge.
