IU Neurology Department Consolidates Clinic Sites; Open House Set At Indiana University Hospital

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Neurology will dedicate its new outpatient facility in Indiana University Hospital at Clarian Health on Friday, Aug. 22. The ceremony is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. with tours of the facility beginning at 3 p.m.

The center, which is located in rooms 1710 and 1711 on the first floor of the hospital, will be named after Mark L. Dyken, M.D., who served as chairman of the I.U. Department of Neurology for 23 years, retiring in 1994.

The Mark L. Dyken, M.D., Neurology Outpatient Center will serve as a comprehensive center for the gamut of neurological diseases and disorders. I.U. specialists will see patients at the center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Specialty clinics include among others: stroke programs for both adults and children, sleep disorders, movement disorders including Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular disorders, brain tumors, dementia including Alzheimer's disease, neurologic problems related to chemotherapy and radiation, nervous system infections, headaches and pain.

"The opening of the Mark L. Dyken, M.D. Neurology Outpatient Center is the culmination of many, many hours of work and careful planning by members of the department," said Jose Biller, M.D., chairman of the Department of Neurology and professor at the I.U. School of Medicine.

"It is important patients should feel comfortable with their care," Dr. Biller said. "The combination of subspecialty neurology programs will give patients easier access and state of the art diagnosis and treatment. Patients will benefit because consultations among subspecialty neurologists and their colleagues will be more readily accessible in the combined clinical setting."
