One minute of brain ischemia can kill 2 million nerve cells and 14 billion synapses. That means the more time that elapses before intravenous thrombolysis, the slimmer the odds of a good outcome.

The upside is a great opportunity to improve outcomes simply by providing the right treatment, right away. Target: Stroke was created to help you seize that opportunity by achieving door-to-needle (DTN) times of 60 minutes or less.

New tools now available:
•    Updated Best Practice Strategies that have helped others reduce DTN times
•    Updated Resource Manual
•    Patient Time Tracker
•    Patient education flyer
•    Target: Stroke Honor Roll Award Application

Coming soon!
•    Video testimonials from real-world stroke team members
•    More practical webinars to help you overcome key roadblocks
