The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's is a regressive brain disease caused by complex brain changes. Over time, dementia symptoms get worse.

Our team works closely with the University of Pittsburgh Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. As one of the nation's leading research centers in this field, we're always looking for ways to better diagnose and treat Alzheimer's.
