One of approximately 30 federally-funded Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs) enacted by an Act of Congress (Public Health Service Act, section 445) in 1984, our goals are:

- To provide top-notched, compassionate professional diagnosis, care and treatment to individuals with AD and other forms of cognitive impairment
- To conduct state-of-the-art neuroscience research directed towards uncovering the causes, treatment, and the prevention of AD and related neurodegenerative disorders
- To support collaborative dementia research funded outside of the ADC, nationally and internationally
- To present a fertile training environment for promising students, clinicians and scientists
- To disseminate awareness and education via active outreach to professionals and care-partners in local communities
