Our Program

If you're searching for the very best stroke and vascular care with all the breakthrough technology science can offer, you need look no further than right here in our community at Mount Sinai Queens.

Stroke (sometimes called "brain attack") is the third leading cause of death in this country, and a leading cause of disability. In fact, 700,000 Americans each year suffer a new or recurrent stroke — that's one stroke every 45 seconds. To answer our neighbors' pressing need for exceptional stroke care, we have built a premiere program for the early recognition and treatment of stroke.  Our service includes:

• A qualified stroke team available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, following the guidelines established by the Brain Attack Coalition (comprised of representatives from nine organizations including the American Stroke Association, American Academy of Neurology and American College of Emergency Physicians). Our team is able to ensure that all appropriate diagnostic studies and treatment can be provided within a critical timeframe.
• Screenings to evaluate your risk of stroke.
• A first-rate prevention program, which allows our team to educate you about reducing your risk for stroke. Measures include support of important lifestyle changes, such as lowering cholesterol and healthy eating.

Invaluable Vascular Care

Mount Sinai Queens offers its community a full range of medical treatments for any number of vascular ailments. Our service includes:

• Up-to-the-minute technology-driven diagnostics and procedures, including a wide range of vascular examinations, such as stroke prevention evaluations, and upper and lower extremity vascular evaluation using invasive and non-invasive vascular testing.
• An elite team of board-certified vascular surgeons, cardiologists, and surgical intensivists, who work together to manage and treat vascular disease.
• Vascular surgery, including state-of-the-art procedures tailored to specific patient problems and needs using open as well as endovascular procedures.
• A multidisciplinary approach for the many patients who can benefit from vascular expertise.  For example, people with diabetes have special vascular issues and complications; many older adults suffer needlessly from leg pain, which can often be pinpointed and repaired.
