Modernizes stroke care in Illinois by updating hospital designation criteria and data collection practices.

It introduces new designations like Thrombectomy Capable Stroke Centers and Acute Stroke-Ready Hospitals, replacing older terms. The bill mandates annual hospital reviews and data collection to ensure compliance with nationally recognized, evidence-based protocols. It also establishes a State Stroke Advisory Subcommittee to advise on stroke care and transport protocols.
