Alzheimer's Disease (Memory Disorders) Centers

These centers are funded by the National Institute of Aging (part of the NIH)and focus on research
and clinical services for patients with Alzheimer's disease (www.alzheimers.org), but in recent years
they have expanded their efforts to patients with mild to moderate memory loss. If you suffer from
mild to moderate memory loss, and wish to seek expert physician consultation, it is worth going to a
center that is in your geographic region. The clinicians and researchers in these centers (the name
and telephone number of the director of each center, as of mid-2000, are listed below) are the leading
experts in the field of memory disorders.
