UCLA Health has received a $6 million commitment from real estate developer Brett Torino through his foundation to expand the hospital system’s mobile stroke treatment program across Los Angeles County. The award will enable the UCLA Arline and Henry Gluck Stroke Rescue Program to deploy a second mobile stroke unit, which will serve the San Fernando Valley and support area stroke centres, including UCLA West Valley Medical Centre.
The mobile stroke unit is a dedicated ambulance equipped with tools and trained staff to provide leading-edge clinical care while a patient is en route to the hospital. According to stroke rescue program director May Nour, “At UCLA Health, we see mobile stroke units as an integral part of prehospital medicine. [This gift] will enable us to meet the needs of more people in crucial moments and improve health care throughout Los Angeles.”
Torino expressed his pride in contributing to UCLA’s work in this area, saying, “I am proud to contribute to UCLA’s work in this area because of the ripple effect that comes with a stroke. It is my hope that with this gift, we will change the trajectory of families affected by a stroke across the city.” The mobile stroke unit will be named after Torino’s foundation
