At Saint Francis Hospital we are dedicated to highest standards and best outcomes for our stroke patients, while upholding compassion, empathy and individualized care. We participate in multiple quality improvement initiatives and utilize patient registries to closely evaluate and evolve our stroke program. We perform at or above Connecticut and national levels on all major patient-related performance metrics.
