Alzheimer's disease impacts more than just memory. It affects individuals, families, caregivers, and entire communities. That's why awareness, education, and continued advancements in research are so incredibly important.

We invite you to watch this insightful interview with Dr. Co**ha and Bob Harrigan, highlighting Alzheimer's disease and the incredible work being done right here in our community at Intercoastal Medical Group's Center for Brain Health and Clinical Research.

🌟 Memory Care Alliance Member Spotlight: Still Alive Inside: Dementia Supports and Opportunities 🌟

Still Alive Inside: Dementia Supports & Opportunities provides personalized dementia support, education, advocacy, and guidance for people experiencing cognitive changes and the people who care for them.

Our philosophy is simple: A diagnosis of dementia does not take away a person’s dignity, autonomy, purpose, or value. The person is Still Alive Inside.

We focus on the person, not simply the diagnosis, and help families and professionals navigate the practical, emotional, and often complicated realities of dementia.

Services We Provide:

One-on-one and family dementia support
Dementia care navigation and advocacy
Guidance through behavioral and cognitive changes
Caregiver education, support, and problem-solving
A Gentle Way Forward, support before, during, and after transitions into senior living
Professional and senior living staff dementia education
Immersive Dementia Experiences
Support groups and community education
End-of-life support and guidance

What Makes Still Alive Inside Different:

We don’t just provide families with information and send them on their way. We become involved when needed, helping families understand what is happening, identify options, develop a plan, navigate transitions, communicate more effectively, and respond when circumstances change.

Our goal is to bring clarity before a situation becomes a crisis.

Excellent article from our Pioneer Day of Hope event!

Intercoastal Medical Group Memory Clinic held its second annual 'Day of Hope' event for patients and caregivers

04/13/2026

This past Saturday was the IMG Memory Clinic Pioneer Event: Day of Hope. This annual event brought together patients, families, and a circle of support that continues to grow stronger because of the work being led by Dr. Mauricio Co**ha.

For those participating in clinical trials, this day represented more than research - it represented possibility, progress, and hope for the future of Alzheimer’s care.

Members of the Memory Care Alliance, a network of local professionals and organizations committed to walking alongside individuals and families navigating this journey, were present and in full support of this meaningful day.

Whether you are a caregiver, a loved one, or someone seeking answers… please know you are not alone. This community was built for you. The Memory Care Alliance members are honored to be part of something so impactful, and even more grateful for the families who trust us to be part of their journey.
