Treating Cognitive Disorders

Our care focuses on diagnosing cognitive disorders early, sometimes decades before they become apparent. We provide imaging services and genetic testing to evaluate your risk of cognitive disease. Our neuroscience specialists work closely with primary care providers, who often spot signs of cognitive problems first.

We practice lifestyle medicine, evidence-based care aimed at maintaining optimal cognition. Lifestyle medicine includes brain and physical exercises and diet. Together, changes in lifestyle and other treatment may help slow the progression of some cognitive diseases or prevent symptoms from becoming worse.

At Providence, we are committed to providing access to the best care to everyone in our diverse community, including patients with cognitive disorders. We respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual and spiritual identities of each of our patients. We offer location-specific services such as translation for non-English-speaking patients, telehealth and transportation assistance. And, in keeping with our Mission, Providence offers financial assistance programs that provide free and low-cost care to those who are eligible.

As our patient, you benefit from one of the largest networks of neuroscience clinicians in the country. This collaborative system includes award-winning physicians, scientists, researchers and caregivers across 51 hospitals in seven states. The knowledge and skills of these professionals – combined with the expertise of your local cognitive care team – mean you’re getting the best personalized care. Our network is one of the reasons we care for patients with cognitive disorders through more than 12,000 appointments each year.
