The Memory Center at PCOM combines the expertise of neuroscientists with the clinical disciplines of geriatric medicine, clinical psychology and gerontological nursing to provide diagnosis and treatment for cognitive decline. This interdisciplinary approach enables accurate diagnosis, patient-centered treatment planning, and proactive advance care strategies to improve outcomes for patients and their families.
Clients at the Memory Center are thoroughly evaluated by board-certified geriatricians and doctoral-level psychologists working together to reach diagnostic consensus. The diagnostic journey is overseen by skilled care coordinators who provide support, educational resources and assistance in patient-centered treatment decision-making. Continuity of care is assured through ongoing medical and psychological support services with skilled care coordination. The evaluation includes:
The team of collaborating experts in geriatrics, clinical psychology, primary care and gerontological nursing strives to create a seamless and supportive experience. Every effort is made to reduce stigma, ease transitions, and enhance patient understanding and comfort.

Our mission is to detect and treat early cognitive decline through accurate diagnosis, timely intervention, and personalized support — improving quality of life and offering hope for patients and families facing dementia.
We are dedicated to providing patient-centered, compassionate care consistent with the osteopathic philosophy of integration of mind, body and spirit through:
We envision a future where early detection and treatment of memory disorders is the norm — improving outcomes, advancing research, and enhancing quality of life for patients and caregivers alike.
There are currently close to 7 million people in the U.S. living with Alzheimer Disease; that number is projected to grow as the population ages. The PCOM Memory Center enables early identification of individuals with cognitive decline so that accurate diagnosis and appropriate next steps in treatment are initiated. In addition to benefiting individuals with cognitive decline by possibly delaying and preventing progression to dementia, the PCOM Memory Center will establish a data bank for research and development of broad programs that can be scaled for primary healthcare practice.
Through community engagement, advocacy and affiliation, education and research, we endeavor to improve the understanding and management of cognitive health and improve the quality of care for individuals with memory impairment and their families and caregivers.
