Who Is Field Neurosciences Institute?
- Our mission is the prevention, early diagnosis, care and cure of neurological diseases, disorders and injuries. Founded in 1988 through a gift from the four Field brothers to the Daughters of Charity. The Institute stands in tribute to the Field family and exemplifies a commitment to honesty, integrity, compassion, love and loyalty- the very principles that shaped the lives of the Field brothers.
- In 1961, Dr. Field brought impeccable credentials: a medical education from the University of Michigan and residency at Henry Ford Hospital. He brought a unique combination of skills and training in neurology and neurosurgery. And he brought an intense dedication to helping others and a virtually tireless work ethic- products of his upbringing with three brothers on a Brighton dairy farm.
