Our Services
Mobile Stroke Units
Jefferson operates two Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs) equipped with a built-in CT scanner and integrated telemedicine capabilities, offering immediate brain imaging and clot-busting medication. Operated by our certified "Brain Rescue Team," the MSU makes it possible to assess, test, and treat patients in the field before they ever reach the hospital. This innovation shortens the time to treatment and saves the brain.
Strategically placed in Lower Bucks and Montgomery counties, we are the only health system in Pennsylvania operating two MSUs.
