04Highlights from the University of Cincinnati Gardner Neuroscience Institute
As the region’s No. 1 preferred provider for neuroscience care, we continue to lead the way by offering the best treatment options for patients in need of care for conditions like stroke, back, neck and spine injuries, and other neurological disorders. Below are just a few highlights from the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute from the past year.
Mobile Stroke Unit Launches
As we mentioned in our 2020 annual report, UC Health launched the region’s first Mobile Stroke Unit in August 2020, which has brought stroke care directly to those who need it most and has allowed for faster treatment outside of the hospital.
James J. and Joan A. Gardner Family Center for Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Designated an HDSA Center of Excellence
The James J. and Joan A. Gardner Family Center for Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders at UC Health was designated a Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) Center of Excellence for showing exemplary dedication to providing comprehensive care for patients with Huntington’s disease. The HDSA Centers of Excellence provide an elite multidisciplinary approach to Huntington’s disease care and research.
Our center is now one of 54 in the U.S. that is considered a Center of Excellence by the HDSA.
Skull Base Program Formally Launches
In January 2021, UC Health formally launched a skull base program, which features internationally-renowned skull base experts capable of treating a wide range of tumors, diseases and conditions.
The skull base program includes a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, neurotologists, rhinologists, otolaryngologists, endocrinologists, oncologists, radiologists and pathologists. These subspecialty-trained skull base experts work collaboratively with each patient to develop a patient-centric, individualized care plan unique to the patient’s condition, disease or tumor of the skull base.
