MEMORY DISORDERS CLINIC

As we know, Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating disease for patients and families, robbing a person of their memories, personality, and relationships with the ones they love. With the help of the Alzheimer’s Association, the Memorial Healthcare Institute for Neurosciences has opened a multidisciplinary memory disorders clinic to help support patients and their families in our community. This clinic is designed to offer the latest in information, treatments, and supports for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Dr. Leahy is a leader in developing this multidisciplinary approach to Alzheimer’s disease. She, along with her team of clinical pharmacists, nurses, and home health professionals, meet with each patient and their families during this memory clinic appointment. The goal is to provide care and treatment that extends beyond medicines and to improve the quality of life for people with Alzheimer’s disease and their families. If you know of someone who might benefit from this caring, passionate and dedicated approach to patient care, please have them contact their primary care physician to learn if they might qualify for this unique clinic.

Dr. Leahy was very thorough and spent the time with me as a patient versus some doctors rushing you through with your appointment. She also had an intern with her and seemed like she was further educating the intern. Great job Dr. Leahy!

Dr. Leahy was wonderful. She engaged my mom and praised my mom for trying previous recommendations. So many times, providers talk to me when I'm in the room but Dr. Leahy and her staff always engage my mom as the center of attention during the appointment. Thank you for that.
