Broward Health Medical Center and Broward Health North have received Comprehensive Stroke Certifications from nationally recognized organizations, The Joint Commission and DNV –Healthcare, respectively. These certifications signify that the hospitals’ stroke programs meet rigorous standards for providing advanced stroke care, including endovascular embolization and surgical clipping of brain aneurysms, tPA administration, and mechanical endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), a minimally invasive procedure used to remove a blood clot from the brain during an ischemic stroke.
“Achieving comprehensive certification illustrates that Broward Health provides the highest level of neurological care available in Broward County,” said Shane Strum, president and CEO of Broward Health. “With leading clinicians using the latest technology, Broward Health offers innovative therapies that can result in enhanced outcomes for stroke patients.”
