(Havre) Montana State University Northern’s College of Health Sciences has been awarded a $17,800 dollar grant from accelerate Montana to provide free Advanced Stroke Life Support (ASLS) training to 40 to 50 healthcare professionals across Montana, with a focus on rural communities along the Hi-Line.
“This initiative is more than just a training program, it’s a direct investment in the health and safety of our communities,” said Dr. Tiffany Vickers, Dean of the College of Health Sciences. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability and poses significant challenges in rural areas where timely access to specialized care can be limited. ASLS training equips healthcare providers to rapidly evaluate, stabilize, and care for stroke patients during the critical early moments of care, dramatically improving outcomes.
The training will also benefit MSU Northern students and faculty, who can receive the certification at no cost.
