StrokeBelt / StrokeNet
The StrokeBelt StrokeNet (SBSN) will benefit from the established infrastructure, basic science and clinical stroke expertise, and stroke clinical trial experience at University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and our established partner institutions in the Southeastern US, including Children’s of Alabama, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, the University of South Alabama and our new partner Birmingham VA Medical Center. The SBSN will offer combined access to nearly 3,500 acute stroke patients annually, many of them minorities, in an underserved part of the US. The SBSN has successfully enrolled a high percentage of underrepresented and minority populations in our network.
