When someone who may be having a stroke is brought by EMS to New Hanover Regional Medical Center, a specialized medical team meets the patient at the door and immediately starts to evaluate their symptoms and make decisions about the next steps of care.
That process, triggered by what’s called a Code Stroke, was launched a decade ago, and since then NHRMC has added specialists in neurointerventional surgery and been certified as a DNV-GL Comprehensive Stroke Center.
NHRMC, now part of Novant Health, continues to improve its care of stroke patients by increasing access to treatments and looking for more ways to get acute stroke patients treatments more quickly.

KURE BEACH ââ At times Antonio Burns feels heâs still under the water.
Itâs dark and muffled with the sound of sloshing waves overhead. It doesnât help when he awakes in a sweat, drenched.
âI feel like I just jumped out of the pool, or I may not even want to sleep at all â just awful flashbacks,â Burns said. âItâs probably gonna take a long time. Gonna take a long time to mentally recover.â
Nearing a month since Apr. 18, the 27-year-old is working on restrengthening himself mentally since the trauma he endured that Sunday. A photographer from Winston-Salem, Burns headed to the beach for a relaxing day on the sand, snapping shots and capturing reel. Then he saw two girls being towed away in a rip current and caught the eye of a woman across the beach, calling on him to act.
