Research 91¶ÌÊÓƵment
Participation in clinical and research trials related to dementia and Alzheimer's is vital to the advancement of interventions to delay or prevent the onset of dementia. Volunteers ranging from healthy to severe dementia can participate in research in order to help develop new treatments and potentially even prevent dementia and/or Alzheimer's. These medical advancements would not be possible without individuals participating in this much needed clinical research. Volunteers are always needed from a wide range of backgrounds, including varying races/ethnicities, ages, and severity of cognitive impairment (including no impairments at all). Please contact us for more information and/or to join a research study or clinical trial.
