"It`s been six years since I received the cochlear implants, and my whole life has changed. I can have conversations with my wife and children again. I can be a supportive husband and an involved dad. And I don`t feel isolated or alone anymore. I cannot thank Barrow and Dr. Stevens enough for that." - Michael Clark.
When Michael lost his hearing, his days were filled with anxiety and stress. The husband and father of three was worried he could lose his job, home, and ability to provide for his family. Then, he met Dr. Stevens and learned about the option of #cochlearimplants. With your support, the Department of ENT and Skull Base Surgery at Barrow Neurological Institute gives hope to patients and their families, impacting over 3,800 patients last year as Arizona`s #1 hearing implant program.

#WellnessTip! Have you heard of the migraine-wellness connection? #Migraine isn`t just a headache, it is a complex neurological condition that can be influenced by external factors such as weather, sleep cycles, stress, etc. Through the Lewis Headache Center`s comprehensive Wellness Program, patients can learn to manage their headache pain and improve their overall quality of life with non-pharmacological approaches.
Through philanthropy, the Lewis Headache Center can provide the latest treatments and therapies as well as services that address the whole patient. Learn more about your impact here: https://bar.rw/3Hj8WiN

🎨 Bonnie Hill-Dowdy has always used art to express her thoughts and emotions and to reflect on her experiences. Over the years, the Arizona artist has amassed an extensive portfolio. Yet - there are two pieces she always finds herself coming back to. The first is a painting of a brain in a state of chaos, with a large tumor at its center. The second is a scan of the same brain, only this time, five small flowers are attacking the tumor. These are Bonnie`s most personal works because they portray her own harrowing brain tumor journey.

We are pleased to share that Barrow Neurological Foundation has been selected as a cornerstone beneficiary of the newly launched Arizona Cardinals Foundation! Carrying on a tradition of charitable giving, the Arizona Cardinals Foundation will support the creation of a comprehensive neurological care platform specialized for individuals 16 and older with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs), including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism, and related neurologic disorders such as epilepsy.
The primary goal of this dedicated platform is to ensure a seamless transition of #neurological care for patients moving from a familiar pediatric health care team to a new, adult-focused health system. Please join us in saying `Thank You` to the Arizona Cardinals Foundation for their support!
#InternSpotlight! Meet Ruby, a participant in the Summer Undergraduate Internship Program at Barrow Neurological Institute and a student at @arizonastateuniversity! This summer, Ruby studied in the Virtual Reality (VR) Spine Laboratory under the mentorship of Ryan Ehredt, MS, where she developed a color alert system and a VR headset for pedicle screw simulation. Training tools like this help neurosurgeons map out the safest way to navigate around the spine before entering the operating room. Watch this video to see her project in action!
Join us in congratulating Ruby on the completion of her internship!
🙌 We are so honored to share this amazing update (and history lesson!): ⬇️
The Preul Neurosurgery Fellowship, established in 2001, funds two neurosurgery research fellows per year under the mentorship of Mark Preul, MD, director of neurosurgery research at Barrow Neurological Institute. To date, this fellowship has supported over a third of the 150+ fellows who have trained in Dr. Preul`s laboratory, allowed for the publication of 550 journal articles, and trained the leading neurosurgeons who are now making a profound impact on neurosurgical care worldwide!
Thank you for your unwavering support and for helping us shape the future of neurosurgery. These remarkable statistics would not be possible without you.
You can help us advance the field of neurosurgery research in support of #NeurosurgeryAwarenessMonth with a gift today: https://bar.rw/40Tdsen. 🔗 Link in bio.
Thanks to generous donations to the Sonntag Spine Center at Barrow Neurological Institute, the state-of-the-art Virtual Reality (VR) Spine Lab allows neurosurgery residents to immerse themselves in realistic procedures and practice complex techniques in a 3D environment. The VR Spine Lab has the potential to shape the future of neurosurgical training and practice worldwide, especially in countries that do not have access to real-world models.
Your support makes technology like this possible. In honor of #NeurosurgeryAwarenessMonth, join us in advancing life-changing neurosurgical training and research: https://bar.rw/40SKmMi. 🔗 Link in bio!
