support

There's more to injury and illness than physical pain and recovery. Sometimes emotional support can be just as important to your healing and well being as the expert medical care you receive. We believe in compassionate care at every level and are always available to connect you and your family with valuable sources of individual and group support.

SUPPORT IN CARING FOR YOUR BABY

Soothing Babies Safely

A crying baby can bring out extreme feelings of frustration and inadequacy in new parents who are already stressed and sleep deprived. At Indianapolis Neurosurgical Group, we are pleased to support the goals of the Soothing Babies Safely program at Clarian Health. No baby or child should ever have to suffer the devastating effects of being shaken which include brain damage, paralysis and even death. Learn more about tips and tricks to soothe a crying or fussy baby.

ING also supports the prevention efforts of the ThinkFirst program, to educate children and teenagers in how to prevent head and spine injuries.
