Kerwin Medical Center

Happy first official day of Spring! We're excited to share that as the weather starts heating up so will our clinical research trials! Our Study Start-Up Team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring FOUR new studies to our participants this Spring! ?? Providers: if your patients have concerns about their memory, send them our way to see if we can add a clinical research trial to the care they're already receiving. KMC doesn't replace you - the trial provides an extra layer of attention and care to a patient's existing healthcare network. ??

Since we're all feeling the effects of losing an hour of sleep this past weekend AND today is World Sleep Day, now is the perfect time to think about the impact sleep has on our brain health! ? We all know the consequences of not sleeping well – fatigue, decreased concentration, feeling grumpy, etc. ?? But WHY is sleep so important? Sleep helps clear out the waste that builds up in your brain while you’re awake. Clearing out that waste makes it easier for your brain to work well, including increased concentration and creativity. New connections are also made while you sleep that help promote learning and memory. ?? You can rest easy knowing your good sleep habits directly support your brain health! #daylightsavings #sleep #brainhealth #alzheimers #WorldSleepDay

?? Time for another employee spotlight - meet Dr. Tabba! ?? Dr. Tabba is an board certified Internal Medicine physician who has recently joined our KMC staff. He helps oversee data collection and participant safety across several of our studies. He's primarily at our Oak Cliff location, but you might also catch him at our Presby location some days! Happy birthday, Dr. Tabba! #research #alzheimers

Happy International Women's Day to all our ladies involved in research! ?? ??

It's ??Memory Monday?? A word on our motivation from our founder: “We work every day to help patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurologic diseases of aging. Our Center is dedicated to bringing promising clinical trials to patients and families in the DFW Metroplex to participate in finding better therapies and treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. We will not stop until we help to find the cure." - Diana Kerwin, MD, CPI #alzheimers #alzheimersprevention #memory

Time for another ?? employee spotlight! ?? You may have already met Gabi, as she's one of the first faces you'll see when you come into the clinic. She's a crucial part of getting people scheduled and keeping things running smoothly. Happy birthday, Gabi!
