The entire team of the Center for Neurological Disorders is committed to supporting the community through education on how best to deal with life threatening situations as well as how to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle even when one has experienced health challenges.
The Center for Neurological Disorders Stroke Team
The Brain Attack program emphasizes how stroke is an emergency requiring the same medical response accorded to a heart attack. Swift diagnosis and treatment are imperative if patients are to survive and to lead a productive life.
Specialists at the Center are teamed together to offer services and consultation to health care professionals most likely to come into early contact with stroke victims, including family physicians, emergency physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, emergency medical technicians/paramedics, nurse practitioners, hospital emergency staff and 911 dispatchers. They offer multidisciplinary care for patients with cerebrovascular disorders, including acute brain rescue, interventional neuroradiologic and surgical therapy and multimodal rehabilitation.
The Center's medical team, made up of physicians, neuropsychologists and nurses, offers a wide variety of community education programs for health care professionals at all levels as well as for the general public wanting more information about how the neurosciences can better their quality of life.
