Our robust multidisciplinary team includes nurse practioners, neurohospitalists, neurologists, neurocritical care physicians, and neurosurgeons, with specialties in open vascular surgery and endovascular neurosurgery, allowing for a range of treatment options. The center also comprises The Roxanna Todd Hodges Comprehensive Stroke Clinic, which offers multidisciplinary evaluation of patients for stroke and covert stroke.

The Comprehensive Cerebrovascular and Stroke Center of USC leads in stroke research, participating in innovative clinical trials and research studies, and is committed to advancing stroke treatment, prevention and rehabilitation.

The Center offers two fellowship training programs in Vascular Neurology (ACGME-accredited) and Neurocritical Care (ACGME-accredited), which provide quality training to future leaders in stroke and neurocritical care. Fellows receive training at Keck Hospital of USC, Los Angeles General Medical Center and neighboring affiliates.
