Arkansas Saves Stroke Program

May 03, 2011

Thanks to a new telemedicine program that links the emergency room doctors at Ouachita County Medical Center to specially trained neurologists via live, two-way video, stroke patients can get the treatment they need 24-hours a day. Led by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, the Arkansas SAVES (Stroke Assistance through Virtual Emergency Support) program helps ensure treatment within the three-hour period.
