Keep Memory Alive was founded in the mid '90s by Nevada businessman Larry Ruvo in honor of his father who succumbed to Alzheimer's, Keep Memory Alive (KMA) has been raising awareness and over $100 million in funds in its quest for enhanced treatments and ultimately the prevention of memory disorders of all kinds, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's.

Consider these alarming facts about Alzheimer's disease alone:

• In 2011, an estimated 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease.
• Every 70 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's disease. By mid-century, someone will develop Alzheimer's every 33 seconds.
• By 2050, as many as 16 million Americans could have Alzheimer's disease. Caring for those individuals may cost upwards of $1 trillion annually and will likely bankrupt Medicare and Medicaid.
• The average cost for the illness from diagnosis to death is $174,000 per patient, making Alzheimer's the third most expensive disease in the U.S.

But, there is hope?

• Delaying the onset of the disease by five years cuts the diagnosis by 50%.
• Delaying the onset of the disease by ten years eradicates the disease altogether.

In 2009, KMA selected as its medical partner the Cleveland Clinic, ranked in the top five among the nation's 4,861 hospitals. Together, Keep Memory Alive and the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health are committed to prolonging healthy, vital aging in people at risk for dementia or memory impairments. Patients receive expert diagnosis and treatment at Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Nevada, which offers a multidisciplinary, patient-focused approach to diagnosis and treatment, promoting collaboration across all care providers. The facility offers patients a complete continuum of care, infusing education and research into all that it does. On-site outpatient services include research, clinical trials, treatment, imaging, caregiver support groups, and a patient and caregiver resource-a library open to the public.

In addition to its focus on preserving memory, Keep Memory Alive operates event space dedicated to creating memories for individuals who host and attend activities in the Frank Gehry-designed Keep Memory Alive Event Center, from which all revenues benefit the organization's commitment to eradicating memory disorders.

Care without borders:

The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health is located in:

• Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada
• Cleveland, Ohio
• Weston, Florida

Care extends beyond each facility, with patients in need receiving referrals to the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute in Cleveland, and elsewhere in the Cleveland Clinic network. Communication with patients' existing primary care and other physicians is facilitated by Cleveland Clinic's electronic medical records, which are accessible by patients and designated caregivers and healthcare providers alike.
