The number of Americans living with neurological and age-related brain disorders continues to grow, and that unfortunate trend applies to our regional population as well. For people living with these conditions, Norton Neuroscience Institute is a beacon of hope. Norton Neuroscience Institute brings together the specialties of neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology with subspecialized physical, occupational, and cognitive therapists in a unique and collaborative way. This approach enables Norton Neuroscience Institute to accelerate the pace of innovation, resulting in novel therapies and cures that ultimately provide better and more personalized care for our patients. To meet today’s growing demand, we’re embarking on a visionary growth plan to further transform and improve complex neurological care within our community and beyond. We hope you’ll join us as our Journey to Excellence continues.
