Clinical Research Division

Because dementia is more than a medical condition, we are committed to providing the best treatment for both individuals and their families in the medical, psychological and social arenas. Presently we are collecting patient data that will allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions in slowing down the progression or delaying the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
