Bringing Specialized Care to Underserved Areas

The University of South Carolina is proud to launch the Brain Health initiative to enhance patient diagnosis and care, and improve access to brain health services. This state-funded initiative will bring together eminent physicians and researchers to solve cognitive health problems and reduce disparities in cognitive health care – all for the betterment of South Carolina and beyond.

Through the network, we hope to increase provider and patient access to care in the areas of dementia, Alzheimer’s and neurology. Having a supportive network within their community offers life-changing peace of mind for patients and caregivers.
