Every second counts…and we’re ready to act 24/7

Since time is of the essence when a stroke occurs, we’re proud to be designated as a Primary Stroke Center by the New Jersey State Department of Health and Senior Services.  That means you can rely on us for expert, 24/7 emergency care.

Our program - staffed by experienced, skilled physicians and specially trained staff - encompasses numerous diagnostic and treatment services, as well as rehabilitation therapy when needed.

HackensackUMC Mountainside’s Primary Stroke Center adheres to the American Heart - Stroke Association’s nationally accepted guidelines and standards of excellence.  In fact, we are a recipient of its annual Gold Plus Award.  We’ve also been awarded a special, disease-specific certification in stroke care from The Joint Commission.   

If you or a loved one experience a medical emergency that may be a stroke, call 911 immediately.
