Stroke Patient Story - Frank Doering

In June, 60 year old Frank Doering suffered a massive stroke. He was taken to SSM DePaul Health Center where he underwent an emergency clot retrieval procedure. Something that is only possible thanks to the technology, physicians and staff in place at the SSM Neurosciences Institute. A month later, he was able to walk his daughter down the aisle. Everything is Possible!
