The interdisciplinary team consists of neurologists, neurosurgeons, critical care service physicians, RNs, PCAs, health unit coordinators, respiratory therapists, social workers, chaplains, physical and occupational therapists, dietitians, clinical nurse specialists, and nursing education specialists. Mayo nursing care model is in use. The registered nurse (RN) is accountable for coordinating nursing care, including direct patient care, patient/family education, and transitions of care.

The RN possesses excellent communication skills; is skillful in mentoring and teaching; and may participate on committees or projects. A subset of employees may be required to drive their personal vehicle as part of their responsibilities.
