The Burke Rehabilitation Hospital Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation Psychology Department has been expanded with the addition of two clinical neuropsychologists: Tehila Eilam-Stock, Ph.D., and Elizabet Santana Marmon-Halm, Psy.D., who will offer assessment and rehabilitation psychology services.
Eilam-Stock joined the department after completing her predoctoral training in clinical neuropsychology at New York University (NYU) Langone Rusk Rehabilitation and a postdoctoral fellowship at NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York City. She said, “Neuropsychology is so important in this setting because people have such life-changing events. They have many limitations and require significant care.”
Santana completed a predoctoral internship in health psychology/neuropsychology in the Department of Veterans Affairs at New Jersey Health Care System Medical Center in East Orange, New Jersey, and continued her education in a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Neurology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York. Santana, who speaks both English and Spanish, treats patients at Burke”™s White Plains campus and at the Montefiore Wakefield campus in the Bronx. She is the first neuropsychologist at Montefiore Wakefield.
Julieanne Shulman, Psy.D., chief of the Rehabilitation Psychology and Neuropsychology Department, noted the role of Burke”™s psychologists and neuropsychologists is to work with patients who have confirmed or suspected neurological, medical or psychiatric conditions, which may cause cognitive concerns.
