The University of Texas - Houston's Stroke Treatment Team serves as Houston's premier medical team for the treatment of acute stroke emergencies. Formed in 1988 under the leadership of Dr. James Grotta, the U.T.H. Stroke Team pioneers acute stroke treatment and recovery interventions aimed at preventing or reducing significant disability from stroke. A commitment to excellence in clinical practice, research, and neurovascular training has made the U.T.H. Stroke Team the most experienced providers of thrombolysis (clot-dissolving) therapy following acute stroke in Houston and much of the world, with treatment rates exceeding 30%. Funded by the National Institutes of Health as one of six U.S. centers for discovery of revolutionary stroke treatments and translation of basic research from laboratory to the bedside, the U.T.H. Stroke Team brings state-of-the-art care to the citizens of Texas.
- JCAHO is now certifying stroke centers based on their excellence in acute stroke care and prevention. We are proud that our Stroke Treatment Team is the first in this region to gain such accreditation.
