As we near the end of another year in the Department of Neurosurgery, we look back proudly on the accomplishments achieved in 2017 and eagerly await all that 2018 – our centennial year – will bring. We sincerely hope that many will be joining us in 2018 as we celebrate 100 years of neurosurgical excellence here at the University of Michigan.

This year, the department has continued to flourish in many areas. Our faculty have continued to obtain notable national honors and awards, and our researchers have continued to push the boundaries of what is “possible” in neurosurgical practice and treatment. One of the most important areas of focus has been – and will continue to be – engaging our patients, faculty, staff, and students in the joy and family of the Department of Neurosurgery.
