"Mount Sinai Queens in Astoria Unveils New Innovative Cerebrovascular Stroke Center" - Max Parrott
Mount Sinai Queens has unveiled a state-of-the-art Cerebrovascular Stroke Center. “In a stroke, time is brain,” said Danny Hom, RT, administrative director at Mount Sinai Queens. “With every second that passes, you lose a certain amount of neurons.” The center’s goal is to reduce the total procedure time for a CT scan to 15 minutes. “Why do we have this center in Queens?” asked J Mocco, MD, MS, vice chair of the department of neurosurgery and director of the cerebrovascular center at the Mount Sinai Health System. “The answer is community.
