Memory Loss and Brain Health
Our integrated team at the Center for Memory Loss and Brain Health provide comprehensive, patient centered, coordinated care for dementia and memory disorders, including assessment and treatment of dementia-related cognitive and psychological changes. We understand how a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia can disrupt a family – that’s why we provide services not only for our patients, but for their families as well. We have assembled an expert team of fellowship-trained physicians from neurology and geriatrics to lead the program, along with:- Counseling psychologists and social workers who can help with the emotional effects of cognitive impairment
- Medical assistants and administrative staff who help with appointments and support you during your visits
- Neuropsychologists who assess each patient’s cognitive health
- Our team will communicate regularly with your primary care physician to maintain continuity of care
- Research coordinators who manage clinical trials and can explain possible participation in these vital studies
- Social workers who can connect you with the resources your family needs

Research
We are exploring ways to analyze all of the information we gather from our patients — such as demographics, other health issues, living situations, and support networks — to better understand dementia, and use these data to inform new avenues of study with the potential to improve care for people everywhere.
Patients and families may have the opportunity to participate in clinical trials with the potential to advance the field.
Coordination with Community Organizations
Community-based organizations are our allies in the care of people with dementia. Our team can connect you with resources in your community to help you or your loved one get the needed support.
