Our commitment to keeping you safe

People don’t typically think of strokes in children, but they can happen. Strokes in children can result from cerebrovascular disorders, which affect blood flow to the brain. When a child is at risk of a stroke, the highly-trained team at Children's Health℠ is ready to help.
The Center for Cerebrovascular Disorders in Children is one of very few centers of its kind in the region. We have deep expertise managing and treating cerebrovascular disorders in children, and we use the most advanced technology and techniques, designed especially for children.
We start your child’s treatment with a series of tests to identify the cause of their stroke. From there, we’ll create a custom care plan that will help them recover and prevent future strokes. Throughout the process, we work closely with our Child Life team to keep your child comfortable and relaxed with therapies such as art, music, and pet therapy.
