 REDUCE COGNITIVE DECLINE

Research Study

Our Reduce Cognitive Decline Research program is run by Dr. Allan S. Teel. It is based largely on the 30 years of research in Alzheimer’s and Dementia done by Dr. Dale Bredesen at UCLA.

 

 

Lifestyle Change

These are lifestyle change programs. Participants learn and practice how to make needed changes in their daily routines to improve their health, wellness and vitality. Wellness Program participants do not have to be patients of the Boothbay Region Health Center.

Co-Designed by Participants

These programs were created based on patient needs and co-created with the Wellness program participants. Each of these programs continues to be shaped & evolved by the participants. This includes the business model for each one. These programs are designed to be affordable to participants and to break even for the Health Center. Participants pay what they can afford and the Wellness Program Professionals are reimbursed from those participant payments. We also request grant funding for these programs to ensure that they can be run sustainably and still be very affordable for the participants.

4. Make both individual and community-wide choices that will result in improved health status.

1. Get a higher percentage of the population into an ongoing relationship with a primary care provider.

2. Reduce perhaps by half the number of unnecessary Emergency Department and Urgent Care visits.

3. Achieve a demonstrable improvement in the health status of the community.
