Let us get AHEAD of Alzheimer’s Disease

The AHEAD Study at the Alzheimer’s Disease & Memory Disorders Center at Rhode Island Hospital is an exciting step in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. The AHEAD Study tests whether an investigational treatment can slow the earliest brain changes due to Alzheimer’s disease in people with a higher risk of developing the disease later in life. They are looking for people ages 55-80 who do not yet have symptoms of the disease, but who are interested in participating in clinical trials aiming to help prevent memory problems in the future. If you are interested or have questions, call 401-444-0085 or email Memory@lifespan.org.

Stay safe, healthy and hopeful!
