Jupiter Medical Center to Open Comprehensive Stroke Center
|
Stroke patients in northern Palm Beach County and Martin County can now receive lifesaving interventions much closer to home. Thanks to a $5 million gift from an anonymous donor,
Jupiter Medical Center has assembled the most advanced facilities, technology and specially trained physicians to improve patient outcomes in the most complex stroke cases. The medical center is now in the final stages of completing requirements to be named a
Comprehensive Stroke Center. It will be the only hospital in northern Palm Beach County and in Martin County to achieve this designation. Awarded by the
Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA), the Comprehensive Stroke Center designation will ensure that Jupiter Medical Center has developed system-wide initiatives on stroke prevention, rehabilitation, education, community awareness and research.
"We have reached the culmination of a year of intense effort to recruit the expertise and develop the technological infrastructure necessary to diagnose and treat the most complex stroke patients within minutes of their admission," said
Don McKenna, president and CEO. "We are ready to bring the highest level of lifesaving care for stroke and other neurological problems closer to residents of northern Palm Beach County and Martin County."
