TriHealth has been a leader in stroke care in Greater Cincinnati for over 30 years. You can walk into any one of our TriHealth Hospital Emergency Departments, strategically based across the tri-state region, and receive top level care at a specially-equipped and nationally recognized stroke treatment facility.
With our specialized Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit (NSICU), TriHealth provides personalized, neurological care for critically ill patients, enabling us to treat some of the most complex strokes in the region and connect patients to rehabilitation care.
Good Samaritan Hospital is a Certified Comprehensive Stroke Center
Offered in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, achieving Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification demonstrates our dedication to evaluating and evolving stroke care. This patient-centric approach is at the heart of our mission and values, and is best for our patients and their families. TriHealth’s system of certified stroke care is the most comprehensive in the region, with Good Samaritan Hospital's recognized expertise supporting centers across the area to provide stroke care near where our patients live and work.

- Neuroscience intensive care unit, with Neurocritical Care MDs
