The Memory and Alzheimer's Treatment Center is a collaborative partnership between the departments of psychiatry, neurology, and geriatric medicine that offers patients comprehensive evaluation and innovative treatment to patients with a range of conditions that affect cognition and memory, including Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, traumatic brain injury, and brain vascular disease.

Our expert team is comprised of specially trained physicians, nurses, social workers, and occupational and physical therapists. The Center uses an innovative, nationally recognized model of care developed here at Hopkins. Using diagnostic and treatment advances, patients are provided with a thorough assessment, diagnosis, and comprehensive treatment, as well as counseling, education and guidance for family caregivers.

Based at The Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Campus, the Center and its physicians treat thousands of patients annually in outpatient, inpatient, long-term care, and outreach settings. In addition to inpatient care and the outpatient clinic at Bayview, care is coordinated with sub-specialty cilnics such at the Neuropsychiatry and Memory Clinic  and the Frontotemporal and Young Onset Dementias Clinic at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in East Baltimore, and intermediate and long-term care at The Copper Ridge Institute in Sykesville, Maryland.

Patient care is integrated with research to develop new treatments for Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and with training programs for the lay public, physicians, specialists, other clinicians and researchers in the field.

Patient and family resources that include an advisory council, podcasts, books, a newsletter, and calendar of events are available through these web pages.
