Mobile Stroke Unit Donors Support Fast, Specialty Stroke Care

The San Mateo County Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) provides innovative stroke care by evaluating and treating stroke patients as quickly as possible — even before they reach the hospital.

Launched in 2018, the MSU is funded entirely through community donors and a Sutter Health matching grant.

When treating stroke, time is everything. The Mobile Stroke Unit is a specially equipped ambulance that brings a CT scanner and a team of stroke specialists to patients quickly, enabling treatment while en route to the emergency room.
