The CTSC will address stroke disparities and inequities Enterprise-wide through expertise in population health research, data acquisition and analysis, and testing novel strategies to improve access to stroke care and improve outcomes.

Center Goals

  • To develop a structured dashboard to measure stroke metrics (readmissions, access to post-acute stroke care and rehab) across the comprehensive and primary stroke centers within the Advocate Enterprise.
  • To fund three pilot projects at $25,000 each that are focused on improving stroke care throughout the continuum.
  • To develop collaborations with other Centers and departments for interdisciplinary projects that will lead to at least one extramural grant to support the mission of the Center.

Our Mission

The mission of the Center is to expand and synergize translational stroke research to transform stroke care across the continuum with the aLHS approach and to address stroke disparities and inequities, with the goal to improve stroke care access and outcomes for all.
