There is little data on certified stroke programs being established in new hospitals. In this study we compared data from the opening of a 160-bed hospital until achieving Primary Stroke Center (PSC) certification (October 2021 - February 2023) to after certification (March 2023 - June 2023). Mean age was 63.15±17.37
