The University of Nebraska Medical Center is home to the largest and most comprehensive academic neurohospitalist program in the region.

Since then, the program has developed into its own division of 9 physicians and APPs leading 24/7/365 neurologic care of hospitalized and emergency room patients through 3 comprehensive inpatient services. Through the inpatient General Neurology Service and Stroke Service, the Neurohospitalists are able to impact thousands of patient’s lives within our own hospital.
