A groundbreaking mobile research unit made its West Coast debut in Mission Viejo on Saturday, August 9, at Mount of Olives Church. The Healthy Brain Clinic launched the unit to improve access to brain health education and services. With 12% of Californians currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, the mobile unit aims to lower barriers for understudied and underserved communities to participate in Alzheimer’s clinical trials. Pre-screening visits of 30-45 minutes were provided for those at risk for Alzheimer’s or who are experiencing memory concerns. “Brain health education is urgently needed, and bringing information and screening into the community is a fantastic step forward,” said Dr. Dung Trinh, chief medical officer of the Healthy Brain Clinic.
