On January 12, 2023, The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC) was re-designated by New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) as a Primary Stroke Center in the New York State Stroke Services Program. Previously, TBHC received a NYS designation as a Primary Stroke Center in 2007. However, a new state law implemented in March 2018 required all hospitals with a NYS Stroke Center to reapply. This time around, institutions were required to receive a disease specific certification from a NYS-approved certifying organization.
