Banner Alzheimer's Institute was founded in 2006 in Phoenix, Arizona. Our institute was established as the first Center of Excellence at Banner Health, a nonprofit health care organization that is one of the nation’s largest and most respected health care systems, distinguished for clinical excellence, innovation, and operational integrity. We have a three-part mission of ending Alzheimer’s disease without losing another generation, introducing a new national standard of patient and family care that provides ongoing hope and help for patients and families living with Alzheimer’s disease related dementias, and forging new models of collaboration with scientific, medical, academic and community partners.
We are recognized as an international leader in Alzheimer's disease research and care, and have received more than $100M of funding and support from a range of sources. Today, our team continues to build on its legacy of innovation and excellence in the fight against Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Learn more about our services and care.
