BGMC/GVI Recieves Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification from DNV

Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute (BGMC/GVI) proudly announces its recent certification as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by DNV Healthcare, underscoring its unparalleled expertise in treating severe stroke events.

Beth Hughes, President of BGMC/GVI, emphasizes the critical nature of stroke care, stating, "To excel in stroke care, it's not just about having top-tier clinicians and resources; it's also about the organizational and clinical agility to respond swiftly. This DNV certification validates our relentless commitment to the program, ensuring the health and safety of our patients."

The DNV Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification, benchmarked against standards set by the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association, attests that BGMC/GVI covers the entire spectrum of stroke care - diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and education - while establishing transparent metrics for evaluating outcomes.

Kelly Proctor, President of DNV Healthcare USA Inc., remarks, "Achieving certification shows a commitment to excellence and demonstrates to the community that you are performing at the highest level."

Comprehensive Stroke Centers, typically the largest and best-equipped hospitals in a given region, are capable of handling any type of stroke or complication. In numerous states, stroke center certification guides the choice of facility for the most appropriate and reimbursable care.

Notably, BGMC/GVI outpaces all other hospitals in New York State in stroke treatments and more than doubles the efforts of any hospital in Western New York. The outcomes, expertise, and global reputation of the stroke team attract physicians from renowned institutions like Harvard, Duke and Cleveland Clinic, who come here to learn cutting-edge surgical procedures and interventions for stroke treatment. BGMC/GVI stands as a beacon of excellence in stroke care, setting new standards and drawing accolades from the medical community worldwide.
