Time is the key to preventing death and disability from stroke. So, when a patient suffering a stroke arrives at the UAB Hospital Emergency Department (ED), a rapid response team strives to provide the most appropriate care in the shortest time possible.

UAB Medicine employees work together daily to save lives, and sometimes it’s for one of their own.
