Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience

The Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience houses one of the nation's busiest neurosurgery and neurology programs in the location that was the former site of Wills Eye Hospital, 9th and Walnut Streets, in Center City Philadelphia. At the Hospital, sophisticated technologies are used to treat a wide variety of neurological conditions, such as brain tumors, aneurysms, and epilepsy.

At the Hospital, neurosurgeons treat vascular brain disease, brain tumors, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, spinal disease and pain. Recognized by U.S. News & World Report as among the best programs of its category in the nation, these programs employ the latest technologies such as focused beam radiation by gamma knife (the only one in the region), linear accelerator and interventional neuroradiology.

The creation of the Hospital for Neuroscience allows Jefferson to continue the expansion and development of its nationally recognized neurosurgery programs. It also allows Jefferson the opportunity to consolidate in one site its outstanding neurology programs in such areas as epilepsy, headache, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and stroke as well as its well-respected geriatric psychiatry program.
