Capital Health's Capital Institute for Neurosciences and Bancroft Join Forces

Capital Health’s Capital Institute for Neurosciences and Bancroft Join Forces

Bancroft, a New Jersey-based nonprofit and leading provider of brain injury rehabilitation and neurological evaluation and therapies, has partnered with Capital Health to provide neuropsychological evaluations at the Capital Institute for Neurosciences located at Capital Health Medical Center - Hopewell. The partnership combines Bancroft’s board-certified and fellowship-trained neuropsychologists with Capital Health’s roster of fellowship-trained subspecialty neurologists who are experts in treating Alzheimer’s and other cognitive disorders; Parkinson’s and other movement disorders; headache; epilepsy; and pediatric neurological conditions. Patients who seek treatment at the Institute benefit from a multidisciplinary team of specialists who provide an outstanding continuum of care, from diagnosis and evaluation to treatment and recovery. The partnership with Bancroft strengthens the Institute’s ability to care for patients with these conditions. “We are excited to partner with Capital Institute for Neurosciences,” said Toni Pergolin, Bancroft President and CEO. “The partnership allows patients with a variety of neurological conditions to receive neuropsychological evaluation from our skilled neuropsychologists right at Capital Health, where they receive diagnosis and treatment.” “At our Institute, we place great importance on providing a wide variety of clinical services for our patients in one convenient location,” said Institute director and Department of Neurosurgery chairman Dr. Erol Veznedaroglu. “Patients can see subspecialty neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain specialists and neuropsychologists in one office instead of having to travel between different locations. They can also schedule any additional testing they need, all in the state-of the art facility we built in Hopewell Township. In addition to providing very high-quality care, we want the care to be as convenient as possible for both patients and their families.”
