Since 2003, The Roskamp Institute has been on a mission of neurological discovery. Our recent research has spanned Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, Gulf War illness, and the impacts of red tide. Throughout this work, we’ve stayed focused on one goal: improving brain health and promoting healthy aging.
Our clinical division offers the community the opportunity to join clinical studies, such as our current Red Tide Study. This ongoing relationship with our local community gives us the ability to offer patients cutting-edge treatments today and real hope for the future.
The Roskamp Institute offers clinical studies and trials related to brain health. There, we apply our cutting-edge research and partner with experts in the industry to provide the highest level of patient care for all. To learn more, visit the clinic website: RoskampClinic.org
