About Your Care
Our multidisciplinary team of physicians, registered nurses, clinical social workers, discharge planners, case managers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists strive for optimal patient outcomes with the help of cutting-edge medical science, nursing, and technology.
Our goal is to provide patient and family focused care. The Neuroscience and Stroke multidisciplinary team stabilizes the patients medically and guides them on the path toward functional independence and self-sufficiency. We personalize care, in order to meet the specific needs of the patient and family, and we tailor our approach with cultural sensitivity and understanding. The team also focuses on assisting the patient and family to cope with the residual effects of neurological illness or surgery.
