The Washington Regional Memory Clinic is located in the Washington Regional Clinic for Senior Health in the Pat Walker Center for Seniors located on the corner of Appleby and North Hills Blvd. on the Washington Regional Medical Center campus.
The Memory Clinic at Washington Regional offers a compassionate and state-of-the-art approach to diagnosing and treating disorders of memory. We understand that some changes with memory and thinking may be reversible, and should not necessarily be considered an inevitable part of aging. In addition, we are committed to assisting our patient’s family and caregivers through education and support, to ensure that they have the resources they require.
Our Team
Our multi-disciplinary team includes members from geriatric medicine, geriatric neuropsychology, neurology, geriatric psychiatry, social work, and nursing. All members of our team have specialized training in geriatrics and disorders of memory.
