Behavioral Health Cov Co Hosp

VITAS Healthcare serves people with serious illnesses. Our hospice care and palliative services provide comfort to patients and preserve dignity in the face of terminal illness. Hospice CareWhen medical treatments can no longer cure a disease, our interdisciplinary team of hospice care professionals still can do a great deal to control pain, reduce anxiety and offer needed spiritual and emotional support to patients and their families. We introduce gradual, non-crisis transitions from curative care to hospice care. There is time to talk, to try treatments and therapies, and to ensure comfort and dignity.

The scientists at the Center for Vital Longevity at UT Dallas engage in a variety of research studies aimed at understanding how cognition and the brain develop and change throughout our lives. Their research also aims to identify who is most at risk of cognitive impairment and evaluate treatments that might prevent or halt cognitive decline. They are dedicated to pursuing research that will lead to cognitive health for life.
