Providence Spokane Neuroscience Institute Earns U.S. News High-Performing Marks

The Providence Neuroscience Institute in Spokane delivers leading-edge, patient-centered care for brain and spine conditions across all ages, offering advanced diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and 24/7 trauma response as the region's most comprehensive resource of its kind, providence.org reported. Recognized by U.S.

Patients throughout the Inland Northwest gain access to more than 50 board-certified specialists and subspecialists. These clinicians operate across six hospitals and more than 12 outpatient locations, treating complex neurological disorders through collaborative, personalized treatment plans.

Advanced Clinical Programs and Specialized Care

The institute houses the Inland Northwest’s only specialty program dedicated to child neurology and neurosurgery. It also maintains one of the Pacific Northwest’s largest cerebrovascular programs, handling complex conditions from acute stroke intervention to intricate brain tumor resections.

For patients managing chronic movement disorders, the medical center provides deep brain stimulation (DBS). This neurosurgical procedure places thin electrodes in targeted brain areas to deliver mild, adjustable electrical currents, helping control irregular body movements over time. When dealing with brain tumors, multidisciplinary teams use advanced technology to tailor interventions based on tumor location and pathology.

Clinical Metric / Service Area	Volume and Scope
Neuro Specialty Doctors	50+ board-certified experts
Stroke Care Volume	1,000+ patients treated annually
Spine Surgeries	3,000+ procedures performed annually
Brain Tumor Surgeries	200+ procedures performed annually
Trauma and Emergency	24/7 coverage (Level I Cardiac & Stroke Center)

Rehabilitation and the Path to Recovery

Advanced intervention extends beyond acute surgical suites and emergency departments into comprehensive rehabilitation. Designated as a Level I Cardiac and Stroke Center under the Washington Emergency Cardiac & Stroke System, the network ensures rapid stabilization before transitioning patients to specialized recovery environments like St. Luke’s inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs.

“St. Luke’s was great at giving me the resources I needed to continue my nutrition and exercise at home,” says Harry Green, a Providence patient and master potter who returned to his craft after utilizing the facility’s stroke recovery resources.

With over fifty years of history treating neurology patients in the region, the institute balances high-volume surgical capabilities—performing over 3,000 spine and back surgeries and more than 200 brain tumor removals annually—with targeted, individualized recovery pathways.
