With many causes, some still unknown, cognitive disorders affect memory, perception and learning. Beyond the clinical effects of diseases like Alzheimer’s and other dementias, these disorders also profoundly affect an individual’s independence and quality of life as well as the lives of caregivers and others within the support system. The programs at Butler Hospital are focused on caring for the individuals and families facing these disorders while advancing prevention and treatment through research.
