The Division of Neurology cares for infants, children and adolescents with conditions of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and neuromuscular system). We are ranked among the top pediatric programs in the nation and are dedicated to providing the highest quality care for your child.
We welcome children and families who have limited treatment options where they live.
