History
The Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center opened in November 2001 with a start-up grant from the National Institutes of Health and the Administration on Aging. The center moved into its current facility in Boca Raton in December 2004. Funding for the facility came through a generous gift from Louis and Anne Green, matched by the State of Florida.
The building was specifically designed to house a diagnostic clinic and dementia-specific adult day program while also providing counseling, supportive and educational services, and opportunities for research.
In July 2005, the center became a State of Florida-designated Memory Disorder Clinic through the Florida Department of Elder Affairs’ Alzheimer’s Disease Initiative. The center participates in Florida’s network of authorized Memory Disorder Clinics, which provide comprehensive services for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related memory disorders.
