About Us
The Arizona Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) is one of 31 ADRCs nationwide, funded by the National Institute on Aging.
- People who have questions about memory and thinking challenges and concerns
- Family members and caregivers of people with dementia or related memory concerns
- Healthy adults who want to volunteer for studies on the human brain
We develop and test new ways to detect, diagnose, treat and prevent dementia.
We also help to improve care for patients and their families, and to gather community support from healthy people who are not yet affected by memory challenges.
Please connect with us for:
- Help obtaining a diagnosis or managing care
- Support groups and programs for patients, caregivers and family members
- Ways to participate in research studies that can improve care for all
The Arizona ADRC and the Arizona Alzheimer’s Consortium (AAC) provide a groundbreaking way for scientists and researchers to work together and make a deep community impact in the effort to end this disease.
Our member institutions are strategically positioned across the state, providing easy access for all communities.
Together we:
- Build new research, clinical and education programs in partnerships with individuals, organizations and communities
- Train the next generation of researchers and clinicians
- Reach out to healthy people, those with memory challenges, and their family caregivers
to inform them about our research and our programs - Leverage our unique location in the Southwest to collaborate with local communities and
advance the study and care of Latino and Native Americans
