Stroke Program

Stroke is another leading cause of brain injury. A brain injury suffered after a stroke often results in significant changes in language, memory, thinking, behavior and personality.

The Stroke Program at TIRR Memorial Hermann maximizes a patient’s outcome by providing specialized medical management, nursing and therapy services in a hospital setting. Individual therapy, group treatment and community outings address the patient’s functional abilities.

Comprehensive interdisciplinary care provides reinforcement of treatment goals throughout the day for patients at all functioning levels. TIRR provides support groups, counseling and individualized training to prepare families and caregivers for taking on the additional responsibilities of caring for the patient upon discharge.

Recovery from stroke does not end with a patient’s discharge from the inpatient program. Rather, recovery continues long after the return home.

The programs at the Outpatient Medical Practice Clinic and the Kirby Glen Outpatient Center allow patient and family to transition from the hospital setting to home while continuing to receive intense therapy services and medical monitoring. Stroke support groups, counseling, education and individualized training also prepare families and caregivers for the patient’s discharge.
