COLTON -- Arrowhead Regional Medical Center is planning to hold a stroke summit for health care professionals on Friday and a stroke screening and assessment event for the public on Saturday, hospital officials announced Tuesday in a statement.
The stroke summit is designed to provide health care personnel, such as physicians, surgeons, nurses and emergency medical services technicians, with updates on the latest standards of diagnosis and treatment, according to the statement.
Guest speakers at the summit include the following ARMC doctors: Dan Miulli, new advancements in stroke-brain neurological rehabilitation; Robert Kounang, rehabilitation of the stroke patient; Kambiz Raoufi, importance of stroke core measures; Joachim Brown, importance of follow up with primary care physician; and Steven Fitzmorris, follow up of the stroke patient with atrial fibrillation.
"As with many chronic diseases, the way we treat stroke and identify those who may be at risk is rapidly changing," said Miulli, a neurosurgeon and director of ARMC's Stroke Program, in the statement. "The summit helps to ensure that we keep pace with these changes so that we can continue in our community to provide the best care possible to stroke patients and individuals at risk for stroke."
ARMC's stroke screening and assessment event will include height, weight, blood pressure, body mass index and blood sugar checks and nutrition counseling. Health care personnel will review screening results
