Our Hospitalist Neurology wards and Neurological Intensive Care Unit are equipped with advanced monitoring and state-of the art treatment techniques capable of improving prognosis in serious neurological illness. The team of physician-scientists has been at the forefront of developing novel diagnostic, prognostic, and interventional approaches to improve the outcomes of the sickest patients with acute neurological illnesses, such as:
