What do the ADCs do?
Researchers
at NIA-funded Alzheimer's Disease Centers are working to translate
research advances into improved diagnosis and care for Alzheimer's
disease (AD) patients while, at the same time, focusing on the program's
long-term goal--finding a way to cure and possibly prevent AD.
For
patients and families affected by AD, many ADCs offer:
- Diagnosis
and medical management (costs may vary - centers may accept Medicare,
Medicaid, and private insurance).
- Information
about the disease, services, and resources.
- Opportunities
for volunteers to participate in drug trials, support groups, clinical
research projects, and other special programs for volunteers and
their families.
For
more information, contact any of the centers in the directory below.
