On May 21, 2010, The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, also known as the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, opened its doors in Las Vegas. The $80 million Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health houses clinical space, a diagnostic center, neuro imaging rooms, physician offices, laboratories devoted to clinical research, a caregiver library and the Life Activity Center.

The Life Activity Center is a dedicated space for hosting medical education and private functions at the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health (LRCBH), a highly specialized clinical center designed to advance the research, early detection and treatment of neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

In the years since his father’s death in 1994, Mr. Ruvo has pursued his goal of creating a world-class cognitive disease center unequalled in the United States. The goal became a reality last year, with the opening of the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, which welcomed its first patients in July 2009. The center is a setting in which compassionate care goes hand-in-hand with cutting-edge treatments, sophisticated research and training and education for patients’ families and their care-givers.
