Stroke
On this page:
The Ottawa Hospital has one of the strongest stroke research programs in the country, thanks to outstanding basic and clinical scientists, and its close relationships with the University of Ottawa and other associated organizations working to improve our treatment of stroke, such as the Heart and Stroke Foundation Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery.
The Ottawa Stroke Program at The Ottawa Hospital is bolstered by collaborative working relationships among more than 100 researchers associated with the University of Ottawa Brain and Mind Research Institute. Stroke research at The Ottawa Hospital spans the full spectrum from basic science to clinical research to knowledge translation.
