Our team is award winning (Women's Choice award and American Heart Association / Get with the Guidelines award) and works in collaboration with other departments and our stroke coordinator to provide this award winning care.

IMC nurses are critical thinkers and highly skilled to rapidly assess a patient's condition and intervene with immediate attention.
