Neuroscience at Somerset Campus
Edward & Anita Hogan Neuroscience Pavilion
Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system. This field of medical
research is one of the most important as it deals with the brain’s
interactions with the rest of the human body. The cure for most neurological
disorders has yet to be discovered, which makes breakthroughs in neuroscience
a significant endeavor. Much is still unknown about how the brain truly
functions, but the Somerset Campus has been trying to change that.
RWJUH Somerset’s Edward & Anita Hogan Neuroscience Pavilion offers
an advanced, all-inclusive unit providing neurology and neurosurgery services
on the fourth floor of the medical center. The unit is designed to enhance
the quality of care for patients suffering from disorders of the nervous
system, such as stroke, epilepsy (seizures), brain tumors, Multiple Sclerosis
and Parkinson’s disease.
The neuroscience center occupies 13,600 square feet and includes:
18 private rooms with specially-designed baths, hardwood floors, flat-screen
TVs, and comfortable living furnishings
Rehabilitation gym
Speech and swallowing rehabilitation room
Physicians' reading room
Examination and EEG prep room
Family meeting room
High-tech nursing station
The center is staffed by a dedicated medical team certified to provide
patients with the utmost in neurological care. Specially trained nursing
teams not only provide optimal upkeep of this special residence, but are
attuned to the unique concerns of patients and their loved ones.
Advanced technology is the distinguishing element of the neuroscience pavilion.
The new unit is equipped with the GetWellNetwork’s interactive patient
education system, which affords each patient a personal account linked
to his or her specific medications, daily schedule, and other medical
necessities.
Certified Primary Stroke Center
RWJUH Somerset is certified as a Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission
and the New Jersey State Department of Health and Senior Services, 1 of
only 21 facilities in New Jersey to achieve this designation. This means
that our medical staff at the Edward & Anita Hogan Neuroscience Pavilion
is ready to care for patients with
strokes
, but can also care for those with seizures, tumors, Alzheimer’s,
Parkinson’s, and any other neurological disease. Strokes are extremely
serious conditions where blood flow is restricted to a part of the brain.
When this happens, a person is highly susceptible to have a permanent
disability after the stroke. While many neurological disorders develop
over an extended period of time, anybody can experience a stroke at any
time. For this reason, we have posted some tells of a stroke below.
American Heart Association Get with the Guidelines Stroke Quality Achievement Award
This award from the American Heart Association recognizes our commitment
to ensuring that people who have had strokes receive the most appropriate
treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines.
Signs of a Stroke
Health care providers recommend using the B.E. F.A.S.T. system to recognize
the symptoms of a stroke either during or immediately after it occurs.
B.E. F.A.S.T. is an acronym to help you remember the signs.
Balance
– Have you lost your balance, felt a sudden headache or felt dizzy?
Eyes
– Is your vision blurry?
Face
– Are you feeling numbness, or seeing drooping, on one side of your face?
Arm
– Do you have feeling in both arms? Can you raise them both up without
one drifting down?
Speech
– Are you slurring your speech? Can you form coherent sentences?
Time
– If any of the above symptoms are occurring, call 911 immediately.
