Johns Hopkins Bayview has been issued a full designation as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS).

This designation recognizes that the Medical Center offers the critical elements for long-term success and improving outcomes for stroke patients. The five-year designation comes after the Medical Center’s successful completion of a MIEMSS site survey. The surveyor found that Johns Hopkins Bayview was committed to this designation, demonstrated efforts to sustain the commitment, and possessed the necessary facility, equipment and staffing resources.
