We’re also celebrating the teams who make this work possible every single day:

For us, advancing neuroscience isn’t just about innovation; it’s about the lives we touch every day.

Stay tuned, there’s a lot to celebrate!

Did we break any records this year? With 40+ poster presentations and 20+ engagements from one health system!

We had an incredible time at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting 🧠✨

Our team from the Vickie and Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience had the chance to connect with colleagues from around the world, sharing ideas, learning from each other, and highlighting exciting new advances in brain care.

We’re especially proud to celebrate Dr. Ryna Then, who was recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology. This is an incredible achievement and a testament to her impact and dedication.

We’re excited to bring back new ideas to continue providing the best care for our patients.

✨ It’s Neurodiagnostic Week!

Ever wonder who helps doctors “see” what’s happening in the brain? 🧠

At Jefferson Health, our neurodiagnostic technologists are essential to how we care for patients, helping detect, monitor, and guide treatment for complex neurological conditions every single day.

We see you, we appreciate you, and we’re so grateful for all that you do. 👏
