Whether you need neurology care in an emergency or as you cope with a progressive neurological condition, Tanner Health helps you access expert care from neurology specialists. 

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is a specialized medical field that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases or injuries related to the central nervous system. This includes the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

The main goal of neurosurgery is to improve the patient's quality of life by addressing disorders such as brain tumors, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and spinal disorders. It involves a complex and delicate surgical procedure that requires precision, knowledge and experience. At Tanner Health, we offer cranial, brain and spine surgery.

At Tanner Health, we offer:

  • Microdiscectomy
  • Herniated and degenerative disc repairs and replacements

Advanced stroke care

If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department — every second counts.

The faster a person suffering from a stroke is evaluated and undergoes appropriate treatment, the lower the risk of disability or death.

Our stroke team includes highly qualified neurohospitalists who implement leading-edge stroke care protocols. We offer advanced services including:

  • An innovative telemedicine system, enabling certified neurologists to consult virtually — day or night — with emergency department staff.
  • Secure, innovative technology platforms, enabling neurologists to evaluate, diagnose and prescribe treatment for stroke patients.
  • Care through our rehabilitation services and neurology follow-up to help you recover after a stroke.

Stroke care locations

Tanner Health System facilities are stroke care-designated through the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and The Joint Commission. We offer services at the following locations:

  • Primary Stroke Center at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton
  • Primary Stroke Center at Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica
  • Higgins General Hospital in Bremen, which has earned Advanced Disease-Specific Care Certification for Acute Stroke-Ready Hospitals

Understanding Anesthesia: Types, Risks and What to Expect

If you're preparing for a medical procedure, anesthesia is an important topic to understand.

How Your Period Can Reveal Your Health Story
How Your Period Can Reveal Your Health Story

At Tanner Women’s Care, serving women throughout west Georgia and east Alabama with locations in Carrollton, Villa Rica and Wedowee, we hear common questions like, “Is my period normal? How often should it occur? When should I worry about irregular periods?” These concerns are valid and deserve clear answers close to home. Typically, a healthy menstrual cycle occurs every 21 to 35 days, lasts from three to seven days, and is accompanied by a flow that doesn’t interfere with daily life. But “normal” can vary — what truly matters is knowing your own rhythm and noticing when things change.
