Stroke Alert Team at Salem Red Sox

Salem Red Sox hosted Carilion’s Stroke Alert Team to teach BE FAST when responding to stroke symptoms. Biraj Patel, M.D., accompanied a former patient to the field to throw out the first pitch on Saturday while the team handed out stroke alert education. Many thanks to the Stroke Alert Team for their dedication to this important service and showing up to cheer on our patients throughout their health journey. We continue to celebrate our recent Advanced Thrombectomy Capable Stroke Center certification by the Joint Commission.
