Vanderbilt Clinical Neurosciences

Each year, we hold a professional stroke symposium, a public stroke program and screening, and a stroke screening for employees. We also participate in stroke screenings organized by the American Heart Association and by Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital. We also educate the public through our clinical services and educational brochures.
