U. puts neurology center under 1 roof
The $20 million, 90,000-square-foot center, which has its own operating rooms and lab, formally opens in two weeks.
The building that used to be the Moran Eye Center is the shell, but the interior has been stripped away and rebuilt for its new purpose, reporters were told Thursday during a tour. The result is a facility that houses a combined outpatient clinic, an education center, four operating rooms (one not yet complete), a stroke center, neurosurgery research area and administrative and faculty offices.
The center offers what Dr. William Couldwell, chairman of neurosurgery, calls the treatment "troika" patient care, research and education. It's one of the largest and top-rated training programs in the country, he said.
Center spokesman Dennis Jolley said the new facility will provide comprehensive care for brain, nerve and spinal problems. Specialties within the center include stroke, neurology, Alzheimer's/dementia, epilepsy, neurosurgery, headache, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, spine, tumors and vascular neurosurgery.
Meanwhile, Drs. Kathleen Digre, Michael Funke (both neurologists) and Steve Stevens, chairman of radiology, hailed bringing the three specialties together as being patient friendly and enhancing clinical experience. They can consult each other easily , which "streamlines care," said Digre, who is also an ophthalmologist.
The new center has 42 exam rooms with features particular to neurology, such as wider doors which slide and room built in for other family members since neurology patients tend to bring support people with them.
