The Institute has become an internationally-known destination for people seeking the latest in diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative services for a wide variety of neurological disorders and diseases. The Neuroscience Institute includes the Multiple Sclerosis Center, the Booth Gardner Parkinson’s Care Center and the Evergreen Stroke Center.
