Stroke and Neurovascular Care
When you or a loved one experiences a stroke, you need skilled medical care immediately. We provide emergency stroke care, rehabilitation services and comprehensive neurovascular, neurosurgical, neurointerventional and cerebrovascular care.

Why Choose Sutter?
Neurovascular and cerebrovascular diseases both involve the blood vessels in the nervous system. Cerebrovascular disease focuses only on the brain, while neurovascular disease includes conditions affecting blood vessels throughout the whole nervous system. A stroke is a medical emergency in which the brain’s blood supply is affected by a blockage (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke).
We provide top-rated, comprehensive neurovascular services, neurocritical care and rehabilitation while leading the field in clinical research. As one of the largest healthcare systems with advanced stroke certifications in Northern California and the Central Coast, we’re proud of our high standards of care. Our stroke centers, certified by The Joint Commission, are dedicated to improving stroke patients’ outcomes. We offer a full continuum of care, from initial treatment through recovery. Care begins before reaching the ER for patients who need our mobile stroke unit in San Mateo County. One of only 2 in California, our MSU crew operates out of Mills-Peninsula Medical Center.
