After a stroke

Spectrum Health Neurovascular Clinic offers a multidisciplinary approach that embraces the patient’s care across the neurovascular spectrum. We manage post stroke symptoms, secondary prevention of stroke both medically and surgically. Our multidisciplinary approach allows the patient to have full access to all the physicians that can treat the simplest diagnosis to the most complicated diagnosis. One of the best advantages of this approach is having that access all in one location. 

We specialize in individualized care to offer support from the onset of your symptoms through your recovery and beyond. Our service also offers a stroke nurse navigator who may connect with you after discharge from the hospital to help with a transition to outpatient care.

Vivistim is the first FDA-approved neurostimulation device to pair vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with patients’ rehabilitation therapy and daily activities. This Paired VNS therapy helps strengthen the brain connections needed to improve hand and arm function. It’s the only Paired VNS system of its kind, and Corewell Health is the first health system in Michigan to implant the device.
