Stroke Center

Overview

Strokewebsite

In 2008, San Joaquin Community Hospital (SJCH) realized high-quality stroke care was lacking from our community. That’s why we decided to bring a Nationally Certified Stroke Center to Bakersfield, the first between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Though our Stroke Center is still young, it’s already left a lasting impact on thousands of lives in the San Joaquin Valley and been recognized by receiving the American Stroke Association's Gold Plus Award – the highest such honor for a stroke center.

Being a Nationally Certified Stroke Center means:

  • Our 24/7 on-call Stroke Alert Team is always ready.
  • Diagnosis within minutes with Bakersfield’s only hospital-based 64-slice CT scanner.
  • The latest life-saving technology, including our advanced digital cath lab suites and Penumbra System.
  • Comfortable and safe recovery in our stroke unit.
  • Assistance and advice from expert caregivers, including RNs and physical therapists.

If you’re having a stroke, immediately call 911 and ask the ambulance to take you to San Joaquin Community Hospital.
