Alzheimer's Disease Center

We are dedicated to finding ways to treat and prevent Alzheimer's disease - a devastating illness that is predicted to rise to 12 million cases by the year 2030. We strive to educate people with Alzheimer's and their loved ones about the research, treatment, and support available here.

Help Us Find a Cure

The ADC has a strong research focus and conducts studies on brain changes related to healthy aging, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's and other disorders. We could not conduct research without the support of volunteers. If you would like to take part, please fill out this brief form.
