Keep Memory Alive (KMA) was founded in 1996 by Larry Ruvo to raise awareness and funds for improved treatment and a cure for neurocognitive disorders. In 2009, they partnered to form Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, providing continuing care for patients with cognitive disorders and for their family members. Together, the center and KMA are committed to prolonging healthy, vital aging in people at risk for dementia and other memory impairments. The Scourge of Alzheimer’s Disease Consider these alarming facts: • In 2009, someone in the United States developed Alzheimer’s disease every 70 seconds. By mid-century, that interval will shrink to 33 seconds. • As of 2009, an estimated 5.3 million Americans had Alzheimer’s disease. • By 2050, an estimated 16 million Americans could develop Alzheimer’s disease. • The average cost 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 onset of the disease by five years would cut the incidence by 50 percent. • Delaying onset by 10 years would eradicate the disease altogether.
