The high patient volume at the Osceola hospital offers neurology residents the opportunity to care for patients with a wide spectrum of neurological diseases in both inpatient and outpatient settings. The hospital has a busy emergency department, and has 24/7 multi-disciplinary acute stroke team, a stroke unit, a state-of-the-art interventional neuroradiology suite, and a neurovascular intensive care unit.
