The Neurosciences Institute at Alexian Brothers
has attracted some of the leading specialists in treating
neurological disorders to Chicago's northwest suburbs.
The Institute was created as part of Alexian Brothers Hospital
Network's commitment to advanced medicine. It is a portal
to the latest neurological advances that are transforming
our ability to help patients with these six conditions.
Alzheimer's Disease
Our Memory Disorders Center provides diagnosis and treatment
for patients with Alzheimer's disease and other forms
of dementia.
Brain Tumors (Neuro-Oncology)
Our surgical teams use the latest advances in imaging technology
and surgical procedures to precisely target and excise tumors
without harming healthy tissue.
Parkinson's
and Movement Disorders
Diagnosis and treatment is performed in our Parkinson's
Disease and Movement Disorders Center, recognized as a Center
of Excellence in Chicago's northwest suburbs by The
National Parkinson's Foundation.
Stroke
Our stroke care program has been awarded the top ranking
(5 stars) by HealthGrades, a leading online resource for national
healthcare provider rankings.
Our spectrum of care includes advanced diagnostic procedures,
treatment strategies and proven approaches to achieve high
quality of life. In addition, we are working to provide scientific
insight into how to lower the risk of contracting certain
neurological diseases.
The emphasis at the Neurosciences Institute is on multi-disciplinary
teams to offer patients and their families the superior outcomes
and convenience only integrated care promises. Our teams take
into account every opportunity for healing and optimizing
quality of life. Multi-faceted treatment programs are individualized
to address a patient's family, career and stage of life requirements.
Where appropriate, we coordinate care with other resources
within the Alexian Brothers Hospital Network. This may include
nutrition, psychological counseling, home care, support groups,
complementary and alternative medicine, and more.
For conditions in which current therapeutic options are limited,
the Neurosciences Institute participates in a broad array
of clinical investigations to point the way to new treatments.
Through the Institute, patients can gain access to the next
generation of medical technology and pharmaceutical therapies.
