Symposium Presented by

Jaffe Comprehensive Stroke Center & Maimonides Neurosciences Institute

The Jaffe Comprehensive Stroke Center at Maimonides is among the elite few hospitals designated as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by the Joint Commission. U.S. News & World Report ranks Maimonides as a ‘Best Regional Hospital’ and High Performing for Stroke Care (2023/24).

Maimonides has been on the American Heart Association Gold Plus Honor Roll for 15 consecutive years and earned the Target Advanced Therapy and Stroke Elite plus awards for its exceptional care in thrombolytic treatment and endovascular therapy. Our team of neurologists, neurointerventionalists, neurosurgeons, and neuroradiologists takes an adaptive multidisciplinary approach 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, performing minimally invasive procedures and managing patients in state-of-the-art facilities.

Maimonides Neurosciences Institute is recognized for clinical excellence and is a leading center for neurosciences research and medical education. The Institute is comprised of the Divisions of Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuroradiology, Neurocritical Care, and the Jaffe Comprehensive Stroke Center.

SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University

Designated as both a Joint Commission Certified Advanced Primary Stroke Center and a Primary Stroke Center by the NYS Department of Health, SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University is recognized for providing high standards of care for the diagnosis and management of stroke patients in Brooklyn. Using advanced multi-modal diagnostic imaging studies, it offers cutting-edge medical therapy for ischemic stroke.

SUNY Downstate is the first and leading university hospital and clinical research center in Brooklyn, and one of the leading cerebrovascular research centers (in combination with Kings County Hospitals and the Jaffe Comprehensive Stroke Center at Maimonides Medical Center) in the state. The Regional Stroke Center offers stroke prevention education and screening through community outreach programs to the population it serves and is also part of the NIH-sponsored Stroke NET Clinical Trials network under the Columbia University-Weill Cornell Regional Coordinating Center.

Maimonides and SUNY Downstate formed a partnership in 2017 to expand delivery of, and access to, high-quality neurosciences care in Brooklyn. Together we have a joint Department of Neurology led by Regional Chair Dr. Daniel Rosenbaum.
