What we do
Age can be a reason for developing memory loss. South Carolina's older population, especially people that live in rural areas, is growing quickly. So, we started building the USC Brain Health Network by targeting those areas of our state.
We are currently growing our network by collaborating with health systems and organizations statewide.
Through these collaborations, our staff:
- Provides cognitive health screenings to check for cognitive impairment and memory concerns
- Helps patients and caregivers navigate resources and care
- Gets patients access to specialized screening, diagnostic technology and doctors, including neurologists
- Offers continued support by connecting patients and caregivers with resources in their communities
Our goals
One of our goals is to collaborate with primary care providers by bridging the gap between primary and specialty providers. We are working between primary care and neurology to support patient care needs.
Growing the USC Brain Health Network is an opportunity for us to have an impact on the physical and cognitive health of people across the state.
We are currently operating clinics in Columbia, Seneca, Sumter and Winnsboro with Prisma Health, in Darlington and Orangeburg with HopeHealth and in Lexington with Lexington Health. We're working on opening several more clinics around the state in the near future.
Over the next few years, our goal is to continue opening additional clinics throughout the state.
Through the USC Brain Health Network, we are providing timely, quality cognitive screenings and evaluations for patients who may not receive them otherwise.
We are committed to improving quality of life for patients, caregivers and communities alike.
