Children's Neurology and Neurosurgery

When it comes to caring for children with neurological and behavioral disorders, the old saying is often true:

"It takes a village."

Or, more precisely, it takes multiple medical professionals to care for patients that suffer from complex and interrelated neurological and behavioral conditions. Collaborating to treat these special pediatric patients enhances care and improves outcomes.

At Phoenix Children's Hospital, funding enabled the divisions of neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and psychology to come together in one such collaboration: the Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

Specialized medical equipment, pediatric patient rooms, and pediatric specialists -- in addition to the hospital's family-centered focus – make the Center uniquely qualified to treat pediatric patients.

The program is looking toward the future by placing a large emphasis on teaching and research activities. All of the divisions within the Institute participate in training Phoenix Children's Hospital's pediatric residents.
