The brains behind the brain

Their life-saving work is often performed under pressure, and the terrain they navigate is one of the most complex areas in the body. They’re the brains behind the brain. And you’ll only find them at Bronson.

We're providing more specialists and treatment options than ever for our patients - including southwest Michigan’s only board-certified vascular neurologist, neurointensivist, epileptologist, and a pediatric fellowship-trained neurosurgeon; a pediatric neurology program; and a new, dedicated Neurovascular Unit for patients with neurovascular issues such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, aneurysms, seizure disorders, CNS tumors and related disorders. Another critical part of our neuro team is our expertise in neurointerventional radiology with new advances in treating and diagnosing strokes and other disorders of the blood vessels using minimally invasive procedures.

At Bronson, you'll find high quality care with mortality and length-of-stay ratings better than the national benchmark for three stroke and TIA diagnoses, according to CareScience and HealthGrades®,  Joint Commission-accredited Primary Stroke Center, and 5-star ratings in the areas of stroke, back and neck surgery (spinal fusion), and spine surgery by HealthGrades®. In fact, Bronson was best rated in southwest Michigan for spine surgery and is the area's preferred hospital for neurosurgery, spine/back injury, head injury and stroke!
