MyMichigan Medical Center Sault has launched a new telestroke service in collaboration with University of Michigan Health, improving access to critical stroke care for patients in rural areas of the eastern Upper Peninsula. This initiative leverages advanced telemedicine technology to connect patients with specialized stroke experts, addressing gaps in healthcare access for underserved communities. The service, which has already proven beneficial for hundreds of patients, aligns with efforts to enhance the quality and reach of stroke care across Michigan.
