  The Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) is a 6-bed unit serving both pediatric and adult patients. Most admissions are elective and scheduled, allowing for thoughtful, patient-centered care. This unit fosters a collaborative culture built on teamwork, inclusion, and evidence-based practice.

  The Neurology Unit features 17 beds and provides advanced neurological care for stroke patients, general neurology cases, and select neurosurgery overflow. It also includes eight dedicated hospitalist beds to ensure comprehensive treatment. Here, you’ll work closely with providers, therapists—including speech, physical, and occupational—and pharmacists to deliver patient-centered, evidence-based care in a multidisciplinary setting.
