Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Construction has begun on Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital

YOU have a lot of work to do to ensure that this new hospital does not consider the status quo in stroke to be OK.  Successful recovery is 100%, NOTHING LESS.  YOU may need to get the board of directors fired if they don't agree to that.

Construction has begun on Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital

The hospital will specialize in helping patients recover from strokes, brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations, and more.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn — Construction has begun on the new Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital in West Knoxville.
Tennova Healthcare and The University of Tennessee Medical Center have partnered with Kindred Healthcare for the 57-bed facility which will help patients recover from stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, and other complex conditions.

A formal groundbreaking ceremony set for March was canceled because of COVID-19, but work began to clear the property in the Tennova Health Park, which is located near the corner of Middlebrook Pike and Old Weisgarber Road in Knoxville.
“Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital will provide intensive, individualized treatment to those in our community who have experienced a loss of function due to an injury or illness, so they can get back to their lives,” said Tony Benton, chief executive officer of Tennova Healthcare – East Tennessee Market. “It will serve those in need of comprehensive rehabilitation by giving them access to expert care as well as the latest technology and treatment options to advance the recovery process.”

The hospital expects to serve 1,200 patients a year. The average stay will likely be about two weeks.
“The University of Tennessee Medical Center, Tennova Healthcare, and Kindred Healthcare are demonstrating that health systems and providers can come together as one to meet the critical needs of patients in our community,” said Joe Landsman, president and chief executive officer of The University of Tennessee Medical Center. “Together, we will ensure that patients requiring rehabilitation for successful recovery after their hospital stay for trauma, stroke, brain injury, and numerous other conditions and illnesses will receive exceptional care and treatment at Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital.”
The rehab hospital will have a dedicated traumatic brain injury unit complete with monitored rooms, specialized beds and patient lifting equipment, and separate therapy and dining spaces.
There will also be a unit exclusively for stroke patients with private, family-friendly rooms with sleeper chairs. Patients will be in an apartment setting where they can practice daily living tasks before they return home.
