Message from the Division Head
Providing the best possible care for our patients
Since its founding in 1948 by Dr. William D. Stevenson, Halifax Neurosurgery has become a beacon of excellence in Atlantic Canada. Over the decades, we have evolved into one of the country’s premier neurosurgical services, dedicated to providing top-tier care for our patients.
Our Team combines skill, compassion, and cutting-edge technology to address complex conditions of the brain and spinal cord. We are proud to be at the forefront of research, engaged in internationally recognized efforts in spinal cord injury, trauma response, injury prevention, brain tumours, and the integration of new technologies in neurosurgical education. We are steadfast in our belief that innovation and research are vital in advancing patient care.
The strength of our division lies in our multidisciplinary approach, where collaboration across specialties is key to achieving excellence in patient care, research, and education. It is this synergy that allows us to offer world-class care and continuously improve our practices.
I invite you to explore our work and see firsthand the dedication of our exceptional Team. Together, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of care for the people of Novia Scotia and Atlantic Canada.
