Ruvo Center Receives Grant To Create Alzheimer's Research Center

The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health has received a $3.3 million grant to create a new research center dedicated to Alzheimer's disease.

The grant funding from the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health is to help establish the Nevada Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, which will be part of a national network.

The goal of the network is to use advances in research to improve diagnosis and care for those with Alzheimer's disease and work on finding a way to treat or prevent the disease.

Cleveland Clinic says it hopes the new center can help with improving care in Nevada's rural areas.
