Our Approach to Neurology

We tailor your care around your needs, not your disease state. This means our focus is on finding the best treatment and path to recovery for you. Our care is never one-size-fits-all.

Neurologic Conditions Treated

We treat brain, spine, nerve and muscle disorders, including: 

• Stroke
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Epilepsy
• Multiple sclerosis
• Neuromuscular disorders
• Chronic headaches
• Parkinson's disease 
• Huntington’s disease 
• Neuro-ophthalmology

Our IU Health neurologists are also part of our neuro-oncology team to find the best treatment for cancers of the brain and spine.

Support Groups

We offer support groups for chronic brain conditions such as stroke or Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. You and your caregivers may benefit from access to a community of support. You'll learn practical information and connect with others with similar experiences.

Comprehensive Stroke Center

IU Health is home to Indiana’s first Comprehensive Stroke Center, as certified by The Joint Commission, a national accrediting body for healthcare organizations. That's the highest designation for stroke care given by The Joint Commission. Fewer than 100 hospitals in the country have earned this distinction. It represents the top 2 percent of hospitals nationwide in stroke care.

Our team is highly trained and experienced in stroke care. We offer 24/7 on-site access to many specialists. This includes:

• Neurology
• Neurosurgery
• Neurointerventional radiology
• Intensive care

Advanced treatment is provided quickly for any type of stroke episode. This includes hemorrhagic strokes caused by aneurysms or arteriovenous malformation (AVM).

IU Health also has created Indiana’s largest network of stroke treatment facilities. This system of 18 hospitals is ready to assess, treat and manage the effects of stroke. Our system includes the Comprehensive Stroke Center and four Primary Stroke Centers.

Educating the Next Generation of Neurologists

Through the IU School of Medicine, physicians practicing in the IU Health Neuroscience Center are educating the next generation of specialists.

The department of Neurology at IU School of Medicine offers residencies and fellowships to train doctors in diagnosis and treatment of many injuries and disorders.
