Stroke

At Eastern Health Stroke Research Unit, we are proud to serve as the major stroke centre for Melbourne’s inner eastern suburbs and beyond. Our hospital consistently ranks among the top in Australia for door-in door-out and door-to-needle times — critical metrics in the treatment of acute stroke. We believe that the best health outcomes — for both individual patients and the wider population — can only be achieved through active participation in research. Evidence-based medicine is not static; it evolves through thorough comparison of emerging therapies against current best practices. At Box Hill Hospital, patient participation over the past decade has contributed to numerous practice-changing studies, helping to shape and transform modern stroke care.
