Facilities and Location

Our Headquarters

The Neurology Department's main offices are in University Hospital, which, together with the adjoining Crouse and Veterans Hospitals, are located at the periphery of downtown Syracuse and a few blocks from the large campus of Syracuse University, which sits on a hill overlooking the downtown.

Hospital units

The neurology department shares four-bed, two-bed, and (one) single-bed rooms on a large "floor" with the neurosurgery department in University Hospital. Crouse Hospital has 10-15 semi-private beds for neurology, and Veterans Hospital has a 25-bed wing for neurology. University Hospital holds a clinical and research laboratory for electromyography, nerve-conduction, and evoked-potentials, an EEG lab, an epilepsy center with special patient rooms for combined electroencephalographic and television monitoring of patients, a neuro-ophthalmology suite, and research laboratories for neurovirology-neuroimmunology. The Department's clincal needs are well-supported by the neuroradiology and neurosurgical departments. Construction of a new neuroscience floor, which will accommodate all inpatient units under one roof, is expected to begin in Spring 2005, with an opening date set for December 2007.

Neurology Out-Patient Clinics

These are located 3 blocks away from University Hospital, at the University Health Care Center, a modern, well-equipped building. Here, patients are treated by the residents under the supervision of the faculty. Most of the neurology faculty see their private patients in offices in the clinic area.
