Complex neurological conditions such as traumatic brain or spinal injury, epilepsy, brain tumors and stroke, require an extraordinary depth and breadth of clinical expertise from multiple specialists. To deliver this care, the Neuroscience Institute is built on a partnership between Maine Medical Center and community-based physicians.

Sophisticated resources for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders have been available at Maine Medical Center for decades -- earning the hospital, its physicians, and other providers national recognition for their expert care in such areas as stroke, neurocritical care, neurosurgery, and neuropediatrics.

Built on an exemplary partnership between hospital-and community-based physicians, the Neuroscience Institute brings together clinicians and researchers from multiple disciplines to achieve its mission:

1) To advance a scientific understanding of and delivery of care for a range of neurological diseases through multidisciplinary collaboration among neuro clinicians, researchers, payers, healthcare organizations and - most importantly - our patients.

2) To maintain and expand the range of services and level of access for neuroscience patients from across the region.
