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.

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.

- 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.
