This gift builds on a longstanding relationship between Pickup and Hoag, with the former donating $15m in 2017 to the Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute.

Hoag offers various treatment options, including a Phase I Alzheimer’s vaccine clinical trial, and the latest diagnostic technology at its Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute.

Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute Memory & Cognitive Disorders Program director Aaron Ritter said: “Most dementia centres are focused almost entirely on clinical research and clinical trials. While research is of crucial importance – and something that we will continue to promote at Hoag – it is only part of the picture.

“Until we find a cure for dementia, we need to emphasise supporting patients and their families to adapt to the day-to-day impact of dementia.

“Focusing on recognising the treatable conditions that can cause cognitive impairment, we can slow if not reverse a person’s decline.

“This improves the quality of life for patients and their caregivers.”
