ABOUT OUR CLINIC
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia, making up approximately 70% of all cases. Those over the age of 65 are at a higher risk to develop AD. It diminishes cognitive, verbal and physical abilities by destroying brain cells. This in turn affects our ability to think, to learn new things, and to remember.

Many scientific experts are working to ameliorate our understanding of this devastating disease, thus searching to find more effective treatments.

Our clinics partner with pharmaceutical companies to conduct Phase II and III clinical trials for Alzheimer's Disease. Our unique contribution will revolutionize the fight against the disease.

We provide care to patients, generate knowledge for the scientific community, continue to improve support, and access to clinical research.

AU SUJET DE LA CLINIQUE

La maladie d'Alzheimer (MA) est le type de démence le plus courant, représentant environ 70 % de tous les cas.

Les personnes âgées de plus de 65 ans courent un risque plus élevé de développer la MA. Elle diminue les capacités cognitives, verbales et physiques en détruisant les cellules du cerveau. Cela affecte à son tour notre capacité à penser, à apprendre de nouvelles choses et à nous souvenir.

De nombreux experts scientifiques s'efforcent d'améliorer notre compréhension de cette maladie dévastatrice et cherchent ainsi à trouver des traitements plus efficaces.

Nos cliniques s'associent à des sociétés pharmaceutiques pour mener des essais cliniques de phase II et III sur la maladie d'Alzheimer.

Notre contribution unique va révolutionner la lutte contre la maladie.

Nous fournissons des soins aux patients, générons des connaissances pour la communauté scientifique, continuons à améliorer le soutien et l'accès à la recherche clinique.
