Huntington, WV - With the opening of a state-of-the-art Epilepsy Center, Cabell Huntington Hospital now provides leading edge care for people suffering from epilepsy or other seizure-related illnesses.
Under the guidance of Mark Stecker, MD, a neurologist known nationally as an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, Cabell Huntington Hospital developed the region's first center staffed by specialists in the field of epilepsy. Patients can be monitored in one of the hospital's four specially equipped rooms with equipment that relays electrical activity in the brain to a trained team of epilepsy specialists.
"Cabell Huntington now provides experienced and dedi-cated epilepsy care," Dr. Stecker said. "We can provide this region with help to make the correct diagnosis through better tools and expertise."
To make the process easier, neuroscience Certified Nurse Practitioner Mona Baran coordinates patient care at the Epilepsy Center to make diagnosis and treatment more accessible for patients.
Dr. Stecker and Baran joined the Department of Neuroscience at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine in November. They came from the Geisinger Epilepsy Center, where Dr. Stecker was most recently the center's director. Prior to that, Dr. Stecker was at the University of Pennsylvania for 10 years and at Harvard University before that.
