You May Not Be Prepared for a Stroke, But Our Stroke Hospital Network Is.
Covenant Health is our region’s only stroke hospital network. We have nine stroke-certified hospitals, which means no matter where you live in East Tennessee, stroke care is always nearby.
Our emergency department staffs and EMS personnel work together to identify stroke patients and provide rapid treatment within a narrow window of time. Each hospital in our network is certified with the advanced diagnostics and training needed to diagnose stroke and administer medicines that break down stroke-causing blood clots.
Our stroke-certified hospitals give you quicker access to treatments that can reduce the risk of post-stroke disabilities and most importantly, save your life.
