Deans' stroke musings: Stroke, Rehab Center to Bring 100 Jobs to Crown Point

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.

Stroke, Rehab Center to Bring 100 Jobs to Crown Point - Indiana

YOU will need to DEMAND that the goals for stroke survivors is 100% recovery. Not the dumbed downs goals they are going to pass off as acceptable. YOU have to set the goals, not the stroke medical professionals. The medical staff is lazy and will not put out stretch goals or anything that might be difficult.

CROWN POINT - Community Healthcare System has announced plans for a 129,000-square-foot stroke and rehabilitation center in Crown Point. The health system will invest an estimated $40 million into the facility, which is expected to create 100 full-time jobs.
Community says the center will include inpatient rehabilitation treatment as well as physician practices, immediate care and outpatient services such as physical, occupational and speech therapy. A women's diagnostic center will also be located on the second floor of the four-story building.
The third and fourth floors of the facility will provide specific therapies for complex stroke, traumatic brain injury, neurological conditions and spinal cord treatments. The health system says the center will be the only freestanding dedicated rehabilitation center in Northwest Indiana.
"Each of our hospitals are accredited Primary Stroke Centers and serve as a starting point for stroke patients," said Donald Fesko, chief executive officer of Community. "Studies suggest that for many post-stroke patients, intensive inpatient rehabilitation treatment at an inpatient rehabilitation facility may be the best choice, resulting in enhanced functional outcomes with a shorter length of stay and higher discharge rate. This same high standard of care(Not results?) also applies to patients recovering from neurological conditions and joint replacements and others who need care in a rehabilitative setting."
Community Healthcare System is planning to open the facility in spring 2019.
