Delray Beach, Fla. (Dec. 8, 2015) — Delray Medical Center is the only hospital between Ocala and Miami to earn a spot on the top 100 list for ‘Hospitals & Health Systems with Great Neurosurgery and Spine Programs’ in 2015 by Becker's Hospital Review.

The hospitals and health systems featured on the list are national leaders in neurosciences, providing treatment for patients with various brain and spine conditions. They have received distinctions of excellence from numerous reputable organizations in areas such as neurosurgery, spine surgery and stroke care.

“It is an honor to be recognized as a leading program in complex brain and spine care alongside some of the best institutions in the U.S.,” said Mark Bryan, hospital CEO. “This recognition is a reflection of years of hard work and devotion by our staff and the surgeons at Delray Medical Center.”

As a member of the Advanced Neuroscience Network, Delray Medical Center is a state-designated Comprehensive Stroke Center and has received the Healthgrades Stroke Care Excellence Award every year since 2010. The hospital is the first neurosurgical center in the Southeastern U.S. to use Synaptive Medical and NICO Corporation technology for minimally invasive advanced visualization and interventional access to brain abnormalities. Delray Medical Center also offers the Deep Brain Stimulation procedure which serves as an avenue of hope for those who were previously unable to obtain symptom relief from movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, the hospital is a Blue Distinction Center for Spine Surgery.
