The Neuro-Spine Institute

There are many exciting and inspiring things happening at Providence St. Joseph Hospital Foundation. We’re glad to share them with you.

Supporting minimally invasive, modern neurosurgical intervention and life-changing rehabilitation in Humboldt.

Investing in Innovation

Our highly-skilled neurosurgeons are available 24/7 at St. Joseph Hospital. Through the support of our generous community, these dedicated physicians are empowered with technology ensuring the highest level of safety and precision when removing brain tumors or implanting surgical materials in the spine. Investing in this ever-evolving technology helps keep patients with complex cases here, close to home.

Recovery can be a long journey. Mobility issues, fine motor skills, and speech are not always the biggest challenges for patients in need of neurorehab. A loss of personal dignity caused by these changes can be devastating and deeply affect a patient’s motivation and will to go on.

Our specialized Outpatient Therapy team of highly trained and compassionate physical therapists, along with generous donors like you, are giving dignified therapy to patients in need of hope at the Harry Hardin Center.

Integrated Surgical Suite Needs

S8 Stealth Image-Guided System

Goal: $150,000

The intuitive StealthStation™ S8 system enables clear visualization and surgical navigation of every segment in the spine.

O-Arm Intraoperative CT Platform

Goal: $600,000

The O-arm Surgical Imaging System provides real-time, intra-operative imaging of a patient’s anatomy with high quality images and a large field-of-view in both two and three dimensions.

Regaining a Zest for Life

When he first received the devastating diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, Fortuna resident Harry Hardin was not sure life was still worth living.

Unable to do so many things he once loved and feeling unsteady on his feet, Harry thought he was down for the count. Then he met the physical therapists in rehab at St. Joe’s.

Not only did Harry regain his strength, dignity, and zest for life, he started the Rock Steady Boxing program so that other patients in need of neurological rehabilitation could achieve the same success.

Now, more than ever, our community needs Providence St. Joseph Hospital Eureka and compassionate neighbors like you.
