Cleveland Clinic’s Neurological Institute is pleased to announce the creation of the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health (LRCBH).
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.
Cleveland Clinic, in collaboration with the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute in Las Vegas, 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). The goal of the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health 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. In addition to the Cleveland location, a $100 million facility designed by Frank Gehry is currently under construction in Las Vegas. This new facility will house clinical space, a diagnostic center, neuroimaging rooms, physician offices and laboratories devoted to clinical research.
