NEUROSCIENCE Neuroscience Unit The Moncton Hospital's Neuroscience Unit provides services to patients before and after surgery and post trauma patients who are under the care of a neurosurgeon or neurologist. As part of the Maritime Referral Centre, the Neuroscience Unit provides services to residents of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and northern Nova Scotia. The Neuroscience Unit, located on the forth floor of the hospital, treats patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (usually caused by a rupture of an aneurysm, malformation of arteries and veins in the brain or a result of trauma), spinal cord injuries, head injuries or brain/spinal tumours. The unit receives mainly adult patients, but children may also be admitted. Following intensive care, a team of health care professionals establishes goals with patients, their families and discharge planning, either to rehabilitation in the hospital, home or an appropriate community area. Patient education and teaching is done on the unit with a one-on-one approach. The Neuroscience Unit runs a Family Pager Program that allows family members to leave the unit and get necessary rest, and know that they can be contacted if needed. The unit was established in 1972 by Dr. Herbert Harold Tucker, a neurosurgeon at The Moncton Hospital at the time. Mission The Neuroscience and Rehabilitation Program provides patient/family focused care to those with neurological and rehabilitative needs in order to achieve optimal quality of life for those we serve.
