KALISPELL, Mont. - MontaNews -- GoTo Telemed, the nation's leading integrated telehealth ecosystem serving over 10 million patients nationwide, today announced the launch of its comprehensive Stroke Management Program, a virtual‑first, end‑to‑end service that spans the entire stroke continuum of care—from primary risk reduction and silent atrial fibrillation (AFib) detection to acute telestroke decision support, post‑discharge cardiovascular monitoring, home‑based rehabilitation, and secondary prevention. Delivered by a multidisciplinary network of vascular neurologists, telestroke specialists, cardiologists, physical and occupational therapists, and telehealth nurses, the program brings guideline‑aligned stroke expertise directly into patients' homes and regional hospitals.
Stroke is the fifth‑leading cause of death and a leading cause of serious long‑term disability in the United States. Up to 80% of strokes are preventable through aggressive risk factor management, yet hypertension, AFib, dyslipidemia, and diabetes remain underdiagnosed and undertreated. At the same time, only a minority of eligible patients receive tissue plasminogen activator within the critical treatment window, and post‑stroke readmission rates remain unacceptably high.
"Stroke does not begin or end in the emergency department – it is a continuum that starts with silent risk factors and extends through acute treatment, recovery, and lifelong secondary prevention," said a GoTo Telemed spokesperson. "Our Stroke Management Program bridges every gap in this continuum. We help high‑risk individuals lower their blood pressure and detect paroxysmal AFib from home; we enable community hospitals to deliver expert telestroke consultations in minutes; and we support survivors with remote monitoring, virtual rehabilitation, and medication adherence tools after discharge. This is the first fully integrated telehealth solution for stroke, and it is available nationwide."
Availability
GoTo Telemed's Stroke Management Program is available immediately to patients nationwide through the GoTo Telemed platform. Patients may self‑enrol or be referred by primary care providers, emergency departments, or hospital discharge planners.
Vascular neurologists, telestroke specialists, cardiologists, physical and occupational therapists, and stroke‑trained nurses interested in joining GoTo Telemed's provider network are invited to apply through the company's credentialing portal.
