SRMC Advanced Primary Stroke Center

Time lost is brain lost when it comes to strokes and since 1.9 million brain cells die every minute during a stroke, there isn't much time to lose. That's why, the stroke team at SRMC led the way in creating the first Advanced Primary Stroke Center on the southside of Atlanta.

Certified by the Joint Commission in 2008, Southern Regional's Primary Stroke Center has steadily advanced over the years achieving the bronze, silver, gold and most recently, gold-plus awards for maintaining excellence in stroke care by the American Heart and the American Stroke Associations.
