Our brain powers our bodies, propels our curiosity, defines our personality and holds our memories.
Having a neurological disorder is scary. Providence Brain and Spine Institute is dedicated to providing the best care to our patients and their families, and donors help us do more.
Doctors at Providence Brain and Spine Institute treat the most difficult afflictions of the human brain. As a clinical leader and research hub in the region, we participate in clinical trials to discover new treatments and unlock the keys to cures. Generous donors accelerate this work, supporting opportunities for our doctors and researchers to bring the best treatments and healing to our patients.
Providence Brain and Spine Institute treats brain and skull base disorders, as well as stroke, peripheral nerve disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), epilepsy and pediatric neurological conditions. We need your support to help the thousands of patients we serve each year.
Your support brings better and more effective treatments to our patients.
Your support will:
-
Fund groundbreaking research.
Your support provides much needed resources for our nationally and internationally recognized research. More than 65 active studies are underway in multiple sclerosis, stroke, ALS, Alzheimer’s and epilepsy, seeking new effective therapies for these conditions.
-
Create the Neurosurgical Innovation Center.
Providence Brain and Spine is Oregon’s premier neurosurgery provider and a leader for the entire Providence system. We will create a Neurosurgical Innovation Center to enhance surgeons’ ability to conduct research projects and participate in clinical trials. Your support can help establish this dedicated center to perfect new technologies and techniques.
-
Provide epilepsy mental health resources.
Providence Epilepsy Center is one of only two comprehensive centers in Oregon. Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological condition, affecting some 35,000 patients in Oregon. Of those patients, 50 percent have psychiatric conditions and 30 percent have a psychiatric disorder that mimics epilepsy. Community mental health providers are often not trained in addressing these issues. We seek funds for a nurse practitioner and social worker to work directly in our center, helping us diagnose patients more accurately faster.
