In-patient neurologic care is delivered primarily at the University Hospital, a 400 bed tertiary and primary care center located on the east edge of Salt Lake City, and is the only academic medical center in the intermountain west. Its" unique location gathers referrals from the entire state of Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, western Colorado, northern Nevada and Arizona, and eastern Oregon. The neurology in-patient unit consists of two adjoining patient areas: a 26 bed neurology/neurosurgery ward containing facilities for extended video-electroencephalographic monitoring of patients with seizures, as well as a 12-bed neurology-neurosurgery intensive care unit (NICU).

Outpatient clinics are located both within the University of Utah hospital, as well as in Research Park (a 5 minute drive by car south of the hospital campus linked by a campus shuttle). These clinical sites include an EEG laboratory, a Sleep Disorders Center offering polysomnography, a state of the art electromyography laboratory (EMG), and an autonomic function testing laboratory. Outpatient clinics are jointly shared by Neurology and Neurosurgery.

MS CLINIC
The intermountain west has a large population of people with Multiple Sclerosis, as a consequence, the University Hospital conducts a very active MS Clinic.

Evaluations and treatments are provided at all stages of the disease with state of the art prophylactic therapy using newer agents, including, immunomodulatory therapies with Interferon and Copaxone, as well as chemotherapy. Our MS Clinic has direct access to a 3.0 tesla MRI, to image our patients and does so routinely.

The MS Clinic is an active participant in national clinic trials with newer therapeutic agents.

Appointments are scheduled by REFERRALS ONLY. Appointments will not be scheduled unless records are received by the clinic.
