Stroke Collaborations

Every collaboration is unique. We work together with health care organizations to develop tailored stroke solutions.

Bermuda Hospitals Board

The Bermuda Hospitals Board and Johns Hopkins Medicine International entered into a clinical affiliation in 2019 to enhance and expand stroke care at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital in Bermuda. Over the course of the agreement, Johns Hopkins experts have helped the hospital develop a stroke program and have implemented telestroke for acute stroke care. Our team has also helped the hospital achieve certification as a primary stroke center with distinction by Accreditation Canada in March of 2022. Our work with Bermuda Hospitals Board continues.
