MedCentral neurology services

We offer a variety of comprehensive, compassionate services to patients with disorders of the brain and nervous system.

We continue to enhance our care with research and education programs, as well as investments in facilities and technology. A new angiography is used for interventional neurological procedures.

Neuroscience critical care

We have a group of experts solely dedicated to the care and management of the neuroscience patient. Our neuroscience critical care unit is comprised of a multi-specialty team of board-certified neurologists, neurosurgeons, diagnostic and interventional neuroradiologists, critical care nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, clergy and rehabilitation specialists. Working together allows for coordination of care and the best possible treatment plan. The team is skilled in the recognition of the critically ill patient's primary need for restoration of physiologic stability, coordinating interventions directed at resolving life-threatening problems. Activities are focused on the support of patient adaptation, restoration of health and preservation of patient rights.

Our surgical intensive care unit is specially designed to care for these patients. Our 10-bed intensive care unit is located on the same floor as a bi-plane angiography suite, eliminating the need for patients to travel off the floor during an emergency. The 15-bed step-down unit is located next to the intensive care unit.
