This certification demonstrates that the stroke care provided at St. Mary's meets the highest standards in the nation. And in 2006, St. Mary's was named a Neuroscience Center of Excellence by Neurosource, the nation's leading independent evaluator of neuroscience programs. Neuroscience incorporates a wide range of conditions affecting some 15 million Americans. These conditions include:
Neurosciences are the next frontier in modern medicine. In the past, many of these conditions were essentially untreatable, but in the last 30 years, medical science has made huge advances in diagnosing and treating neuroscience conditions. Today, advanced diagnostics such as high-speed CT allow doctors to administer medicines that can stop some strokes in their tracks. New surgical techniques and technologies allow for more - and more effective - surgical solutions. Advances in critical and rehabilitative care allow many people to return to active living.
