Through our clinical partnership with Lurie Children’s, we have advanced pediatric neurological care in locations close to home for children living with neurologic conditions at:

• Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital located in Winfield
• Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital located in Geneva

Specialized diagnostic services available to pediatric neurology patients include:

• Electroencephalogram (EEG) to record electrical activity in the brain
• Electromyogram (EMG) to record muscle contractions resulting from electrical stimulation
• Sleep studies to understand the cause of sleep disturbances

Should hospitalization be necessary, patients benefit from the 24-hour onsite coverage provided by Lurie Children’s hospitalists and critical care specialists in the PICU and Pediatric Units at Central DuPage Hospital.
