History

Established in 2009.

In 2009, the CEOs of the North Texas HCA hospitals reached out to Dr. Vallabh Janardhan — asking for his assistance in developing a National Center of Excellence for Stroke Care — the Texas Stroke Institute. They shared a combined vision of working together as a multi-​hospital collaborative to increase stroke treatment rates and to bring comprehensive stroke therapy to the Dallas/​Ft.

This process included the development of infrastructure, recruitment of nationally recognized physicians, and a sustainable marketing approach require facilities to work together under one strategic business plan.
