About this Clinic
The Stroke Clinic at Harborview cares for patients with cerebrovascular disease who have suffered a stroke or transient ischemic attack, also called a TIA, and those who are at risk for stroke or TIA. Primary and secondary stroke prevention is a key component of services offered at the clinic.
Clinic Goals
- Reducing the incidence of stroke through identification and control of stroke risk factors
- Reducing morbidity and mortality of a stroke through emergency care for patients with acute stroke, diagnostic services, treatment options and a comprehensive rehabilitation program

- Serving as a center for clinical discovery in stroke prevention and treatment
Individual care plans for each patient are based on an initial evaluation that may include a complete medical history and physical examination, stroke-risk and lifestyle education, and ancillary tests.
