Thank you for considering a contribution to the UCSF Memory and Aging Center (MAC). Your contribution directly enables the Memory and Aging Center to offer the highest quality of compassionate clinical care for patients and family members seen by a multidisciplinary team of experts. Insurance and patient fees cover only a fraction of the cost for this personalized treatment.
The mission of the UCSF Memory and Aging Center is to provide the highest quality of care for individuals with cognitive problems, to conduct research on causes and cures for degenerative brain diseases, and to educate health professionals, patients and their families.
For more than ten years, the UCSF Memory and Aging Center has been providing model care for patients and their families, finding innovative ways to understand and hopefully cure these neurodegenerative diseases, and reaching out to the wider community to raise awareness about these diseases of aging.
Collaborations allow us to accomplish more research with fewer resources. Some of our collaborations have broad goals to understand diseases over time while others may have much more specific goals.
At the Memory and Aging Center, we look for opportunities to train the next generation of clinicians and scientists and continuing the education of those who are already practicing.
For the first time, advances in technology have made understanding and treating the brain a real possibility, and these technologies are available in the state-of-the-art facilities on the new UCSF Mission Bay medical research campus.
The Memory and Aging Center often has employment and volunteer opportunities available.
The unique Hellman Visiting Artist Program was created to foster dialogue between scientists, caregivers, patients, clinicians and the public regarding creativity and the brain.
