The goal of the Champlain Regional Stroke Network is to ensure that the residents of the Champlain region have access to the highest quality stroke care in Canada. Our region has many national, regional, and local institutions that are collaborating together to make dramatic improvements in the way stroke care is delivered for our 1.2 million residents. We are committed to working with our partners to improve stroke care across the health care continuum through research, education, and application of best practices.
