Immediate Care Program
VITALMIND™ STROKE CARE CENTERS
Immediate Stroke Care Program - Time is of the Essence!
The First Week is Critical
The first week after a stroke—especially the first 72 hours—is crucial for recovery. Early interventions with regenerative medicine can greatly improve outcomes. Our Immediate Care Program is designed to support post-stroke healing during this critical window. Act now—contact us today.
****Important Notice:***** Seek Emergency Care First
VitalMind™ Stroke Care Centers does NOT provide emergency medical services. If you or a loved one is experiencing a stroke, you should seek immediate emergency medical attention at a hospital or emergency room to ensure stabilization and address any life-threatening risks.
Once stabilized, early intervention through VitalMind's post-stroke care program can provide essential support for neurological recovery.
An Important Window for Post-Stroke Support
Experiencing a stroke is life-changing, bringing uncertainty and concern. At VitalMind™ Stroke Care Centers, we recognize the urgency and emotional weight of this moment. Our Immediate Care Program takes a proactive, science-driven approach, supporting your body's natural healing mechanisms during this critical early phase, where the foundation for long-term recovery is established.
“Cell therapy has emerged as a promising approach to promote angiogenesis and neuroregeneration in ischemic stroke patients." - International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2019
"Early intervention, particularly within 36 hours, may offer significant benefits in functional recovery." - Exploration of Neuroprotective Therapy 2021
Who Can Benefit from Our Program?
Our Immediate Care Program is designed for individuals who have...
Had a stroke within the last 7 days,
Are medically stable after emergency hospital care,
Are concerned about mobility, speech, or cognitive challenges post-stroke,
Want a proactive approach to optimizing neurological function and healing, and
Are seeking cutting-edge regenerative therapies to support recovery.
Note: If your stroke occurred more than a week ago, please visit our “Ongoing” page to explore ongoing treatment protocols designed to support recovery beyond the initial week.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
The first week after a stroke is critical for optimizing neurological support. Earlier treatment has been shown to lead to better outcomes. Research, including Mayo Clinic studies, confirms that early intervention can significantly improve recovery. Our one-week treatment window provides comprehensive post-stroke care, with the greatest benefits seen when treatment begins within the first 72 hours... the earlier the better.
Unlike conventional approaches that take a "wait and see" stance, our strategies actively support brain function and promote early neurological recovery during this crucial period.
Our Comprehensive Post-Stroke Care Approach
Our approach integrates innovative therapies designed to complement standard stroke care and promote functional improvement:
Regenerative Cellular Therapy: Our approach leverages your body's natural repair mechanisms to aid recovery. Research has shown that certain cells can migrate to damaged tissues and integrate seamlessly, promoting regeneration.
For example, studies on Multilineage-differentiating Stress-Enduring (Muse) cells have demonstrated their ability to home into injured areas and differentiate into specific cell types, supporting the body's healing processes. (Stroke Journal, Feb 2020)Nutritional Support & IV Therapy: We provide peptides, growth factors, and essential nutrients, typically delivered intravenously to help optimize brain function. This holistic approach ensures that your body receives the necessary support for recovery.
"The findings indicate that supplementation with nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, essential amino acids, and antioxidants can enhance activities of daily living, improve balance function, and reduce neurological deficits in post-stroke patients. - Frontiers in Neurology, 202548-Hour Intensive Treatment Strategy: Multiple therapy sessions within the first several days after the stroke provide targeted support, maximizing the potential for functional improvement during this critical period.
Developed by Experts Who Understand Stroke Care
Dr. Jonathan Morris, a dual-certified physician in internal and regenerative medicine, has treated over 1,000 stroke patients in emergency settings. Through his experience, he recognized the urgent need for proactive treatment options immediately following a stroke.
While later rehabilitation is essential, the earliest days after a stroke are the most critical for recovery. Rather than waiting for damage to set in, Dr. Morris sought an approach that supports brain function from the start, taking advantage of the body's highest state of healing potential in the first week. Our Immediate Care Program is the result of this vision—a science-driven, patient-centered alternative to traditional stroke care.

Common Questions & Answers
Question: Can I receive treatment at home, or do I need to visit the clinic?
Answer: Our treatments are available both in-clinic and in-home, ensuring you receive care where it's most convenient. However, we are typically unable to administer treatments in hospital settings and there are additional costs for in-home services.
Question: What if I'm worried about cost?
Answer: Your health and well-being are our top priorities. The first week is too important to delay treatment over financial concerns. We would rather treat you at our risk than have you miss this critical opportunity for post-stroke care.
Question: How do I know if I qualify for regenerative therapy?
Answer: Our team will conduct a full evaluation to determine if regenerative therapy is a good fit for your condition. Many stroke patients benefit from this approach, regardless of severity.
Question: Is regenerative therapy safe?
Answer: The therapies we use are based on well-established medical techniques, using your own cells to support natural healing. While many of our treatments are considered innovative, most have been utilized in medical care, both in the US and overseas, for decades.
How soon should I start treatment?
The sooner, the better. Our program is designed to start as soon as possible within the first week after a stroke, with the greatest benefits observed when treatment begins in the first 72 hours.
