The majority of neurosurgical procedures in Huntington are performed at St. Mary's Medical Center. A specialized neuroscience unit has been designated for adult neurology and neurosurgery patients, including stroke patients. An interdisciplinary team is available to meet the special needs of these patients.
The Neuroscience Specialty Unit (NSU) is a four-bed intermediate care unit. Patients cared for in this unit include those with acute neurological or neurosurgical problems requiring frequent monitoring. Some common diagnoses include post-operative neurosurgery, strokes, intra-cerebral hemorrhages, cerebral aneurysms and seizures.
