About the Fixel Institute
Collaboration fuels possibility and discovery
From Parkinson’s disease to multiple sclerosis, and from Alzheimer’s disease to essential tremor and dystonia, the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases at UF Health provides multi-disciplinary, patient-centered care and treatment to people living with complex neurological disorders.
At the Fixel Institute, you can see the multi-disciplinary, patient-centered care in action. Like our founding philosophy says, “the patient is the sun, and all care should orbit around the patient.”
This remains true for your first visit, your return visits to see your neurologist, your appointments with therapists at the rehab center and your calls with our care services like social workers and nutritionists.
When you come to visit the Fixel Institute, you receive all your care and more in one central location.

Research to advance care and treatment
Our work goes beyond patient care at the Fixel Institute. Every day, our research teams search for new and better care and treatment therapies for neurological diseases.
From basic science in the lab to clinical trials in the clinic, our research and clinical teams want to understand why and how neurological diseases happen and how we can change the future of patient care for the better.
As a patient at the Fixel Institute, you can join the effort and advance research by participating in a clinical trial.
