$1 MILLION CORPORATE GRANT supports enhanced memory center at Baylor Thanks to a $1 million grant from a large Dallas-based corporation, Baylor is poised to create a world-class center of excellence in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Through the enhanced Memory Center, patients and families navigating a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease will have expanded treatment options and greater social and emotional support to assist with the numerous challenges these diseases present. The Memory Center will be located on the northwest corner of Park Lane and Central Expressway, across the street from NorthPark Center. After years of seeking an accurate diagnosis, Chuck and Cherryl Fikes finally got clear answers at Baylor’s new Memory Center, where Chuck was diagnosed with moderate mixed dementia. In addition to diagnosing and treating a full range of memory disorders, the Memory Center strives to treat the mind, body and soul of our patients and their families.
