Thomas Jefferson University Hospital is a 926 bed tertiary referral medical center with a 14-bed Neurosensory Intensive Care Unit and a 12 bed intermediate NICU.
Jefferson Hospital for the Neurosciences, dedicated for the departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery along with the Farber Institute for Neurosciences, has a 14 bed Neuro-intensive Care Unit. This provides a total of 52 neurointensive care beds and 22 separate Acute Stroke Unit beds within the Jefferson University System. Jefferson is a major referral center for stroke and critically ill neurology and neurosurgery patients for tri-state area.
Our program has one of the largest Neurocritical Care Unit in the country. Jefferson Neurosurgery and Endovascular Neuroradiology Program treats the highest volume of patients with intracranial aneurysms, brain AVMs, and occlusive carotid disease in the nation. In this environment, residents and stroke fellows, and NICU fellows learn to become leaders in the academic field of stroke and neurocritical care. NICU fellows supervise both neurology and neurosurgery residents in the unit and lead the team in daily patient care. This occurs under the direct supervision of the four stroke and neurocritical care attending on staff in this division.
