  Gulf Coast Medical Center is an accredited Comprehensive Stroke Center which has the physician coverage and technology to treat all stroke patients, including bleeding strokes—such as those caused by brain aneurysms. With 24/7 access to minimally invasive catheter procedures to treat stroke; a dedicated neurosurgical intensive care unit; and on-site neurological availability, Gulf Coast Medical Center has the ability to treat stoke patients with a variety of complex procedures. 
  The radiology department features digital technology, such as the Picture Archive Computer System, or PACS, which enables physicians to view X-rays on a computer monitor and adjust the image for a better view. The department also has a state-of-the-art GE 128-slice HD Volume CT scanner, which is very beneficial to its stroke program. 
  The hospital's outpatient rehabilitation clinic utilizes a speech pathology procedure in which a fiber-optic endoscopic evaluation allows speech pathologists to see how patients swallow in real time without an X-ray. 
  Renal Transplant evaluation services are performed at Gulf Coast Medical Center in coordination with the Tampa General Renal Transplant Program.
