Committed to Exceptional Stroke Care in Northern Michigan
Stroke is a medical emergency and is the leading cause of preventable disability in the United States. During a stroke, the brain is lacking oxygen. Oxygen is required for brain cells (neurons) to survive. The brain permanently loses 1.9 million neurons for every one minute without oxygen.

Witham Family Comprehensive Stroke Center
Experts at the Witham Family Comprehensive Stroke Center provide interventional care to stroke patients across northern Michigan. Interventional care gives our community on-demand access to advanced surgical procedures meant to remove the blockage causing a stroke.
These are typically minimally invasive endovascular procedures that involve a trained surgeon inserting a catheter through a patient’s artery and then using a small retriever tool to find and remove the blockage.
