If a stroke impacts your life, you can trust your care to the expert team at Fort Loudoun Medical Center

A stroke occurs when the blood flow to an area of the brain is interrupted by a blocked or broken blood vessel. Strokes can occur suddenly and without warning, and require prompt medical treatment and care.

A stroke is an attack that occurs in the blood vessels of your brain. Deprived of the steady supply of oxygen-rich blood they need to survive, a stroke causes the brain cells it impacts to get sick and die off. When brain cells die, the abilities that area of the brain controls are lost or impaired. 

The degree of recovery potential from a stroke depends on the amount of brain cell death, the area impacted, and the severity of the stroke.
