We are to announce that Baptist Medical Center Beaches has received the highest quality distinction for stroke care from the American Heart Association! Not only did earn the Target: Stroke Honor Roll award, but all five of our adult hospitals received this award, as well as the Target: Type 2 Diabetes℠ Honor Roll award.

Not all stroke centers are created equal, and these elite awards recognize our commitment to providing state-of-the-art treatment to patients as quickly as possible. Our multi-disciplinary teams work together across our sites to provide life-saving care every day. Baptist Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center is the regional leader in advanced diagnostics and treatments for strokes, brain aneurysms and other cerebrovascular conditions. The center’s reach extends to more than two dozen hospitals and satellite ERs via the Telestroke Program, which virtually connects physicians and health care professionals in the greater Jacksonville area and South Central Georgia with Baptist Health’s stroke experts. Accessible 24/7, the program promotes quicker diagnosis and treatment, reduces disability and saves lives.

“We are committed to being a trusted resource not only for stroke care, but also for education and prevention,” said Nima Amin Aghaebrahim, MD, a neurointerventionalist and system medical director for stroke at Baptist Health. “We take pride in expanding access to innovative stroke treatments and strengthening stroke education in our community.”

Congratulations to Melissa Stiles, BSN, RN, on her recent DAISY Award! 🌼 Melissa is an Assistant Nurse Manager (ANM) on our Labor & Delivery unit here at .

"Melissa helped deliver my first child in 2022. She was compassionate back then and left her lasting mark on my family from the very first day we met her. Fast forward to 2024, Melissa was the first nurse I met to check me in for my scheduled c-section. She may not have recognized me, but my husband and I recognized her immediately! It was SO reassuring to have her familiar face there. Even though she had been promoted to charge nurse since the last time we had seen her, she was still checking in on us throughout the day. My son ended up needing an unexpected NICU stay. Melissa was a huge advocate in my getting to discharge and go be with my son! I am forever grateful for Melissa and would love for her to know that. I never got to give her the proper thank you after my son was born. She deserves the world and is an outstanding caregiver! Thank you for being an awesome human, Melissa. P.S. If baby #3 happens, we look forward to seeing you again."

Melissa, you have made a lasting impact on the families you care for. Your compassion, advocacy and dedication truly exemplify what the DAISY Award is all about. 💛

June 19th marks a pivotal moment in our nation's history. Known as Juneteenth, this day celebrates the end of slavery in the United States — when freedom finally reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, in 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

It’s a day to honor the strength, resilience and triumph of those who came before us — and to celebrate the progress and hope their legacy continues to inspire.
