Risk factors you should know about

West GTA Stroke Network (Regional Stroke Centre - Trillium Health Partners)

If you or a loved one suffer a stroke, it’s good to know you have access to the Regional Stroke Centre, located at the Trillium Health Centre, in Mississauga.

So long as the person’s type of stroke meets certain conditions, the ambulance team will take them directly to Trillium to be assessed for thrombolytic therapy (t-PA) or other possible stroke treatment. If they are well enough, patients who do not receive t-PA are transferred to the Emergency Department of their ‘home’ hospital.

24/7 Code STEMI program

Patients arriving with heart attacks arising from a blocked coronary artery bypass the Emergency Department at Brampton Civic Hospital and go straight to Osler’s cardiac catheterization lab.

At Etobicoke General Hospital, patients are immediately redirected to Brampton Civic Hospital for this care. Cardiologists use a balloon catheter and stent to quickly open the blocked artery.

Telehomecare

Osler is offering an innovative way for patients living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to manage their condition at home. Osler partners with Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) to provide Telehomecare to patients living with COPD. Funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Telehomecare links patients from home to registered nurses at Etobicoke General Hospital so they can learn how to take charge of their health.

Using telephone and internet communication, nurses monitor and support people to manage conditions such COPD and Chronic Heart Failure (CHF).
