- Critical care teams
The Stroke Center unites these medical personnel with a coordinated, team approach—so that you or a family member receive the best, most appropriate and most efficient care in the event of a stroke.
Why Choose Us
Importance of a Certified Primary Stroke Center
Illinois legislation has established a special set of requirements for hospitals, which are intended to save more stroke patients’ lives and lessen the need for institutional care. The law means that ambulances must travel to a hospital with a stroke-certified emergency room, even if it’s much farther away.
Thanks to a generous endowment gift from the Frederick Henry Prince Memorial Fund, Lake Forest Hospital established the Wood-Prince Family Stroke Center—which received accreditation from The Joint Commission in July 2010 as a Certified Primary Stroke Center. This center enables us to enhance our existing stroke care and advance the emergency care we provide to residents of Lake County.
