Expertise and Immediate Intervention
The Neurotrauma Center at UC Health is part of the region’s only Level I trauma center. Our highly trained team delivers the fastest, most extensive critical care. With consulting subspecialists and neurosurgeons on call, we provide immediate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for the most complex brain and spine injuries.
Advanced Neurotrauma Critical Care
Groundbreaking Research, Better Care
Our researchers are changing the way patients with traumatic brain injuries are treated by exploring something called spreading depolarizations—waves of activity in the brain that can affect how it heals after injury. Detecting and measuring these waves, and understanding why they happen, is helping our team uncover new ways to protect brain function and improve recovery.
