Banner Baywood Medical Center is committed to making a difference in the lives of those suffering from diseases, disorders and injuries of the brain and nervous system. The hospital's comprehensive neurocare program provides diagnostic and management expertise for patients facing such neurological conditions as seizures, acute confusional states, neurological infections, and neuromuscular and neurodegenerative disorders.
With one of the highest acute stroke patient volumes in the state, Banner Baywood’s neurocare program focuses heavily on the treatment and recovery of stroke victims. An on-site Primary Stroke Center recognized by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association, the only such center in the East Valley, facilitates timely response and intervention for acute stroke victims. As part of the Banner Neurosurgery Network, the Center also offers patients emergency neurosurgical consultation when necessary.
State-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technologies, a specialized stroke unit and a team of neurologists and specially trained nurses ensure patients receive expert medical care from the onset of stroke through recovery.
For some stroke patients, the John J. Rhodes Rehabilitation Institute at Banner Baywood plays a pivotal role in the recovery process. Offering physical, speech, occupational and recreation therapies under the direction of board-certified physiatrists and specially trained rehabilitation nurses, the Institute helps patients overcome and adjust to the after-effects of stroke including speech, comprehension and movement difficulties.
Additionally, the hospital maintains a Sleep Disorders Laboratory accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, to help physicians diagnose and treat such sleep-related disorders as sleep apnea, excessive sleepiness, restless legs, insomnia and more.
