St. Joseph’s Aging Brain and Memory Clinic provides assessment, diagnosis and treatment for people with memory issues. We also care for people with cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment refers to a decline or change in the brains ability to function. There are several different stages of cognitive decline. Some changes are a natural part of aging. Others are caused by diseases and conditions such as dementia. To access the Aging Brain and Memory Clinic, patients must have a referral from their primary care provider sent through the Geriatric Ambulatory Access Team.
