We are to announce that Baptist Medical Center Nassau 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 were also awarded the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award and 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.”

From our family to yours, we wish you a happy & safe 4th of July! 🇺🇸

19/06/2025

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.
