Neurotrauma and Traumatic Brain Injury Program

The Rutgers Health Neurotrauma and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) program evaluates over 500 head traumas per year and provides forward-thinking, comprehensive, and compassionate care. Our experience in neurotrauma care places the program as a primary referral center for significant cases. The program also receives patients by NorthSTAR medivac helicopter, which transports patients from accident scenes and hospitals throughout New Jersey.

We provide treatment at the Level I Trauma Center at University Hospital in Newark, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with staff who have special training in the management of critically ill patients. We also serve patients at Jersey City Medical Center. We work closely with shock/trauma teams at both facilities to manage concurrent injuries affecting different systems of the body.

Our physicians are on the faculty of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, a part of Rutgers University, one of the top research institutions in America. Our doctors are active in research and teach about all aspects of neurology, neurotrauma, and TBI. Each brings life-changing knowledge from the classroom to the exam room.

If you or a loved one requires treatment for neurotrauma or TBI, the Rutgers Health Neurotrauma and Traumatic Brain Injury program can provide the care you need.
