Patient Safety & Quality: FAST Team

The mission of the FAST Team is to reduce the death and disability that can occur as a result of a stroke.

When someone suffers a stroke, every minute counts. Quickly recognizing the warning signs and symptoms of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) may make all the difference in someone achieving a more favorable outcome. This highly trained team is able to promptly evaluate the patient and conduct specific laboratory and imaging tests, which allow for a diagnosis to be made along with the administration of the latest stroke therapies.
