Comprehensive stroke diagnosis, treatment and prevention
The St. Charles Stroke Program is a certified stroke treatment center which excels at acute care during the critical first hours after stroke symptoms emerge. Because rapid response is essential, stroke patients are attended to immediately in our Emergency Department. Stroke care continues at a specialized Stroke Care Unit with surgical and non-surgical procedures, as well as post-stroke therapies, including rehabilitation.
Our multidisciplinary response team includes neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, a neurointerventionalist, rehabilitative specialists and an RN stroke coordinator.

St. Charles Prineville and St. Charles Madras were each awarded the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Rural Recognition Bronze award in 2023.
