The brain is the most complex organ in the human body and, with the help of the nervous system and the support of the spine, it controls everything we do. From breathing and blinking to thinking and speaking, the brain is at the center of it all.
That is why St. John has a place dedicated to the needs of the brain, the nervous system and spine. The St. John Neurosurgical Center offers the best diagnostic and treatment strategies for you or your loved one.
Each day we treat people with a number of neurological health problems, including stroke and the degenerative diseases of the spine and brain. In recent years, procedures to repair aneurysms, reverse the symptoms of stroke, and stimulate areas of the brain are available in northeastern Oklahoma at St. John.
