On July 25, 2023, we launched the UF Health Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit (MSTU), marking a significant advancement in stroke care for Gainesville and surrounding counties. Today, we proudly celebrate the remarkable achievements and dedicated service of our MSTU team over the past year. By the Numbers: • Responded to over 950 calls 📞 • Provided 101 critical interventions 💉 • Admitted more than 440 patients 🏥 Our MSTU is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a 16-slice portable diagnostic CT scanner, telemedicine equipment, and clot-busting drugs, enabling us to provide rapid, on-the-spot care. This year, we treated 33% of stroke patients within 90 minutes and 14% within 60 minutes of their last known well time, significantly surpassing national averages. Additionally, we’ve bridged the gap in stroke care for rural communities, responding to 110 mutual aid requests. UF Health’s MSTU is the only known program in the United States offering this innovative and novel rendezvous process. Thank you to our incredible team and partners for making this possible. Together, we’re revolutionizing stroke care and saving lives every day.
