Our neurological program
Our emergency stroke treatment and neurological rehabilitation services are pillars of our hospital's program for brain and nervous system care.
Diagnosing nervous system conditions
Detailed images are key to accurately screening and treating brain and nervous system conditions. Our advanced diagnostic tests include:
- Computerized tomography (CT) scans
- Electroencephalograms (EEG)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans
- Neurosurgical ultrasounds
Electroencephalograms (EEG)
An EEG is a test that uses sensors to evaluate electrical brain activity (brain waves). This test can help us diagnose a variety of neurological disorders, including common headaches, strokes and dementia. We also use EEGs to determine the causes of psychiatric symptoms and disabilities in children.
During an EEG, your technician will place electrodes in various places on your scalp. These record activity in different regions of the brain. An EEG is noninvasive and usually takes about 60 minutes.
Neurological rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is an important part of returning to life as fully as possible following a stroke or other neurological event. We support this step of your recovery through our inpatient physical rehabilitation services, designed to help you regain function. We also offer specialized programs, including aquatic therapy, vestibular and balance management therapies, manual lymphatic drainage and physical therapy for Parkinson's disease.
Stroke treatment
Our highly skilled emergency specialists know the often subtle signs of a stroke. We are prepared to recognize these symptoms and administer treatment promptly. You benefit from excellent emergency stroke care and access to collaborative care across our programs.
