Georgia Memory Net

Georgia Memory Net is dedicated to the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. By improving screening for memory loss, establishing specialized diagnostic clinics throughout the state, and collecting data on Alzheimer's disease to increase our knowledge, Georgia Memory Net is committed to providing better care with the goal of an eventual cure.

To aid in faster and more accurate diagnosis, Georgia Memory Net has established five specialized diagnostic clinics called Memory Assessment Clinics (MACs), located in Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Albany, and Columbus. Special attention and support is also provided for the patient's caregivers who play a significant role in executing the treatment plan.

The first step to getting a diagnosis from Georgia Memory Net is an appointment with the patient's Primary Care Provider (PCP) to talk about memory concerns. If the PCP detects signs of memory loss, they can refer the patient to a Georgia Memory Net Memory Assessment Clinic for diagnosis via an in-person visit or telemedicine appointment. After diagnosis, Georgia Memory Net supports Primary Care Providers with a detailed care plan, and supports diagnosed Georgians and their families by connecting them to community services in their local area.
