MERI Memory Education and Research Initiative With
the help of the Hon. John Murphy, Rockland County Legislator, Dr. Pomara
and his group have recently established the Memory Education and Research
Initiative (MERI) in collaboration with the Rockland County Department of
Health. The
principal aim of this initiative is to offer memory and cognitive
evaluation to individuals with memory complaints at no cost. The results of these evaluations may be
communicated to the personal physicians of all participants. MERI also alerts community physicians
and psychologists about ongoing clinical studies of treatments of disorders
that affect memory. MERI’s
research mission is to facilitate bringing scientific advances from the
laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside.
This includes the development of advanced neuro-imaging techniques
to help overcome the problems of early diagnosis and to improve the
sensitivity of clinical trials to new therapies. In addition to service and research, MERI will serve as an
educational resource regarding memory disorders for the patients and
clinicians of Rockland County. Brain Imaging
