UT Southwestern Medical Center has one of the nation’s premier neurological treatment centers at University Hospital - Zale Lipshy. It offers diagnostic services and treatments to patients with a wide range of neurological conditions. For critically ill patients with brain injuries and neurological diseases, the hospital’s Neurological Intensive Care Unit (neuro ICU) provides state-of-the-art monitoring technology and innovative treatments from physicians trained in both neurology and critical care.

Patients in the neuro ICU are continually and comprehensively observed, so that physicians may assess every facet of their condition and pursue all available avenues of treatment. In addition to care from neurologists and specially trained neuro ICU nurses, patients benefit from access to experts in related specialties, including neurosurgeons, neuroanesthesiologists and rehabilitation specialists.

With UT Southwestern’s Neurocritical Care Program, patients receive focused, expert care to maximize the chance of full recovery of brain and central nervous system function. In addition, our groundbreaking neurological research can be directly applied to patients with the latest, most innovative treatments.
