In The News
New TV commercials feature Dr. Steven Edgley, the medical director of the Stroke Rehabilitation Program at University Hospital. Dr. Edgley was only 28 years old and in his first year of residency when he suffered his stroke. He did receive treatment within about 45 minutes of onset but still suffers some speech impediments. However, he leads an active life as a physician helping those who have had strokes recover - having changed his medical career to focus on stroke after recovering from his own. He also water skis, climbs, and keeps up with his wife and two young daughters. “Life goes on-I live a full life. But strokes can happen to anyone…young and old,” said Dr. Edgely. “It’s so important to know the signs to look for, to call 911 and get help… don’t wait. Even though I am not fully recovered, if I had not received immediate treatment I would be unable to do many of the things I can do.”
