In early May, Broward Health North (BHN) brought together more than 190 healthcare professionals from around the country for its 2nd Annual Florida Stroke Symposium, held at the Embassy Suites in Deerfield Beach.Eleven of the nation’s leading experts on stroke presented evidence-based information to help keep physicians and healthcare professionals stay informed about the latest techniques and best practices for stroke care. Presentations and discussions covered a range of topics including treatment enhancements, the ethics issues of treating large strokes, and prevention.
“Broward Health North is very proud of the success of stroke symposium,” said Jonathan Harris, MD, neurologist and medical director of BHN’s Comprehensive Stroke Program and driving force behind the symposium. “With all of these specialists together in one place sharing knowledge about stroke, one of the leading causes of disability and death in adults, we are confident that patients will benefit from the new technologies as well as the prevention and treatment methods that were discussed during the event.”
BHN’s Stroke Center is recognized as a certified Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and a Comprehensive Stroke Center by the Agency for Healthcare Administration.
Broward Health North coordinates the Florida Stroke Symposium, which is held in partnership with the American Heart Association. The next stroke symposium has been scheduled for May 1 – 2, 2015. For details, visit BrowardHealth.org/BHNstroke.
