Dedicated to the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
Supporting, Not Supplanting, Primary Care Providers.
Georgia Memory Net is dedicated to providing Primary Care Providers with the resources they need to get fast, accurate diagnoses for their patients who exhibit signs of memory loss or cognitive impairment. Then we provide planning and connection to community services to support Primary Care Providers in the ongoing care of their patients. Georgia Memory Net is made possible by a mandate from Georgia State Legislature.

Referral

Warm Handoff
After a diagnostic session and a results appointment, the diagnosis and care plan are shared with the Primary Care Physician.
Ongoing Care

Community Connection
Meanwhile, diagnosed Georgians and their caregivers are linked to community support resources in their area though Georgia Memory Net’s Community Service Educators.
