Memory and Cognitive Disorders
The UNC Memory Disorders Program was established in 2003 to improve care, advance research, and educate the community about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). Today, more than 150,000 people in North Carolina are living with ADRD—a number expected to double in the coming decades. At the heart of the program is the Memory Disorders Clinic, where patients receive expert diagnostic evaluations and personalized treatment. The clinic also serves as a training ground for future healthcare professionals and a hub for collaborative research, all with the goal of improving lives and supporting families affected by memory disorders.
