Clarian Neurosciences has been recognized among the national's top neuroscience programs and designated as a Neuroscience Center of Excellence (COE), according to the 2006-2007 Neuroscience Center of Excellence Survey by NeuStrategy, Inc., based in Chicago.

The third annual survey, the only one of its kind in the neurosciences, analyzed 150 neuroscience programs across 41 states. The survey determines overall performance by measuring program progress in four key areas: Clinical and Research Programs; Staff; Facilities and Technology; and Business.

The Clarian program, which encompasses Methodist Hospital, Indiana University Hospital and Riley Hospital for Children, treats disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. The program is home to the largest of only three Level I Trauma Centers in Indiana, the state's largest Neuroscience Critical Care unit and one of the largest in the country, a nationally recognized neuro nursing staff, ongoing research, advanced technologies, and a talented and renowned staff of physicians with subspecialties for both adult and pediatric patients.
