Not all hospitals are created equal.
At The Medical Center of Plano, we're different ... and proudly so. We are consistently the first hospital in Collin County - and often the entire metroplex - to introduce new life-saving technology, offer leading-edge treatments, and be recognized for our accomplishments.
NeuroLink™, our comprehensive neurosciences program, leads North Texas in state-of-the-art brain and spine services. We are the most trusted, most respected program in the area for a variety of conditions, including stroke, subarachnoid brain hemorrhages, spinal disorders and brain tumors.
Here are just a few reasons why so many patients and physicians choose The Medical Center of Plano:
- We are the first and only hospital in Collin County to provide comprehensive stroke care. This means we use specialized technology that extends the time window for stroke treatment to up to 12 hours from symptom onset.
- Stroke patients who come here have a greater chance of being treated with intravenous (IV) tPA (tissue Plasminogen Activator), a potent blood thinner that dissolves clots fast - thus minimizing further brain damage.
- We work closely with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies to ensure patients receive high-quality stroke care from the time they dial 911 until they leave our facility.
- Our hospital is the flagship stroke center in Collin County for the Texas Stroke Institute, a regional stroke network of 11 hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
- We are the first and only hospital in Collin County to perform a minimally invasive, endovascular coiling procedure for patients with bleeding in the brain. During the treatment, thin metal spring-like coils are placed inside the aneurysm to prevent it from rupturing.
- We are the first and only hospital in Collin County to earn a host of accreditations and awards.
- We were the first hospital in Collin County to implement hypothermia therapy, a procedure that improves chances of survival - without brain damage - in cardiac arrest patients.
- Our hospital is the first and only one in Collin County to use BrainSUITE, a sophisticated operating room that makes brain tumor surgeries less invasive, safer and more effective.
