30, 60, and 90 minute drive times to current and projected telestroke sites, Montana 2010

This map will be used when working with stroke partners to identify telestroke locations to improve stroke systems of care in Montana’s rural areas. Through a two-way interactive telestroke system, the Montana Cardiovascular Health Program and the Stroke Workgroup have improved the capacity of rural hospitals to conduct stroke consults with neurologists from stroke centers.
