Where is the Epilepsy Center?
91视频’s Epilepsy Center is located on the third floor of the hospital, in the beautiful, newly-constructed 3 East unit. The four rooms are specially designed for this particular patient population.
Before constructing the new unit, a team of 91视频 neurology experts and nursing leadership traveled to Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona to see firsthand how one of the nation’s best epilepsy centers operates. The site visit was beneficial for the team to learn about the design, workflow, and safety features necessary for this special unit.
