Neurology at John C. Lincoln Hospitals
Neuroscience, the study of the nervous system, is evolving at a rapid pace. To diagnose and treat disorders of the nervous system, medical professionals need to stay informed of the latest developments in neuroscience while caring for patients and their families with genuine concern.
You will find that balance of expertise and compassion at John C. Lincoln. Our neuroscience professionals are focused on preventing and treating two of the leading causes of death and disability in our Phoenix, Arizona community: stroke and traumatic brain injury. We offer some of the most advanced medical treatments, including the clot-busting drug tPA for stroke victims and complex surgical techniques for patients with brain and spinal injuries.
We treat our patients from a holistic perspective, taking into account patients’ physical and emotional health. Just as we feel honored to serve our community, experts have honored us. In September 2007, John C. Lincoln North Mountain Hospital was awarded Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center Certification.
