Neuroscience
Our Vision and Philosophy
Saint Mary’s provides an exceptional level of care for patients with neuroscience diseases and disorders. Our top priority is providing today’s most effective treatments, and continuing to incorporate innovative and promising treatments and technologies as they become available.
The extraordinarily complex nature of neuroscience presents multiple challenges. A wide range of diseases and conditions affect the brain and nervous system. Symptoms often are the result of any number of causes which are intricately related. For that reason, treatment programs typically involve a variety of specialists.
Saint Mary’s builds on a progressive medical model based on:
- physician collaboration
- investment in leading-edge technology
- outstanding patient care
- the ability and willingness to implement new medical advances
- partnerships with key providers
Families are vital to health
Patients are part of a larger network of life that includes friends, family and co-workers. Saint Mary’s believes that when caring for patients, all parties benefit when loved ones can take an active role in helping the patient reach full health. When patients draw strength from their friends and family, the impact on the body’s healing process can be profound.
At Saint Mary’s, patients and families are participants, along with physicians and nurses, in key decisions and in the management of their own health. Patients who take responsibility for their diet, exercise, behaviors and medication are more likely to feel in control of their lives.
Health for the whole person
Health care which only addresses a person’s physical problems is incomplete. That’s why we pursue a holistic approach, addressing the health of a patient’s mind, emotions and spirit which are integral to his or her recovery and development.
In conjunction with the innovative Wege Institute at Saint Mary’s, physicians in the Neuroscience Division at Saint Mary’s make use of a wide range of complementary therapies which provide numerous healing benefits to patients.
Such complementary therapies as the following have proven to be helpful to patients with neurological disorders:
- acupuncture
- art therapy
- manual therapy
- massage therapy
- music therapy
- neurofeedback
- neuropsychological testing
