Hattiesburg Clinic Memory Center operates as a clinical practice focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with memory disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and early pre-Alzheimer’s characterized as Mild Cognitive Impairment.
Under the direction of a fellowship-trained, behavioral/cognitive neurologist, Memory Center will work with patients to establish an appropriate care plan.
Memory Center is unique because of our history as a clinical research site, which has provided us the opportunity to participate in various trials in the advancement of Alzheimer’s treatments. We have both clinical and research experience in many areas:
- Utilizing molecular imaging tools (amyloid PET, tau.PET) as diagnostic biomarkers for early Alzheimer’s disease
- Developing appropriate care plans, which include offering symptom-modifying treatments
- Working to advance medical breakthroughs, like Leqembi®, the first, FDA-approved, disease-modifying treatment of its kind, for use in patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia
- Our experienced team of psychometric raters can provide in-depth cognitive testing in order to help establish a diagnosis of cognitive impairment, as well as longitudinal assessments to track changes over time.
Additionally, we are an Alzheimer’s Foundation-certified memory screening site and offer free screenings periodically throughout the year.
In summary, all the patient-focused activities of Memory Center combine to create a multidisciplinary environment that uniquely enhances the clinical experience.
