Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health
This announcement from the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health is available on the web. This incredible addition to the Las Vegas Community will be know nationwide for its contributions to the science and care of brain health.
Cleveland Clinic, in collaboration with Keep Memory Alive and the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute, has created a highly specialized clinical center to advance the research, early detection and treatment of patients with neurocognitive disorders that result from neurological diseases including Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Newly name the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, the goal is to prevent the disabling symptoms of chronic brain diseases and to prolong healthy, vital aging in people at risk for dementia or cognitive disorders.
The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health provides state-of-the-art care for these disorders and for the family members of those who suffer from them. The physicians and staff at the LRCBH will work towards the development of early diagnosis and the advancement of knowledge concerning mild cognitive disorders, which could one day allow us to delay or prevent their onset.
For persons with mild cognitive impairment (mci) such as early stage dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health offers the most up-to-date and technologically advanced diagnostic services, including 3 Tesla MR and PET-CT, performed by one of the leading neuroimaging academic centers in the world. The LRCBH also offers a multimodal treatment program for persons with milder syndromes, including physical exercise, cognitive rehabilitation, and cognitive enhancing medications.
Patients will receive expert diagnosis and treatment at Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, which offers a multidisciplinary patient-focused approach to diagnosis and treatment, promoting collaboration across all care providers, offering patients a complete continuum of care and infusing education and research into all that we do.
