Parrish Healthcare’s Parrish Medical Center was Brevard's first hospital—and
the third medical center in the state of Florida—to be certified
as a Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission—the nation's
leading healthcare accreditation organization. The center has also been
awarded the Women's Choice Award as an America's Best Stroke Center.
Being treated at a certified Primary Stroke Center gives you the confidence
of knowing that you are receiving expert care.
