Vim & Vigor - Winter 2016 - Parrish Medical Center - 52

"I thank Parrish Medical Center
for all of their tender loving care
and for all of their expertise,"
says Rita Hoggard, whose
husband, George, experienced
a stroke.

Stroke patients benefit from Parrish's
partnership with Mayo Clinic

G

eorge Hoggard knows a
thing or two about rapid
response. A former firefighter, the 78-year-old
Titusville resident spent the better
part of his 42-year career teaching astronauts at the Kennedy Space Center how

In 2010, Parrish collaborated with
Mayo Clinic to become the first hospital
in Florida to participate in a telestroke
initiative. Telemedicine, and more specifically telestroke, is the use of video

Clinic's comprehensive stroke center in
Jacksonville can remotely evaluate acute
