Thanks to @harveypeeler, @BruceBannister & conferees for a budget that invests in @UofSC—from keeping tuition low to supporting SC’s future nurses, teachers, lawyers, pharmacists, engineers & neuroscientists, as well as continued funding for key internships in high-demand fields!
We’ve added a seventh star to our USC Brain Health Network map — Orangeburg! In collaboration with @HopeHealthInc, our expert staff now offer cognitive screening and assessment and help identifying critical community resources to residents in this high-needs area.

At the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting, we were featured in its film series representing the most exciting work being done in our field globally. We’re honored to be a part of the AAN community and thankful for the visibility the meeting gave USC Brain Health.
Join us in celebrating the opening (today!) of our Brain Health Network clinic Lexington location! In collaboration with @LexMedCtr, we’re now offering even more South Carolinians access to cognitive screening, diagnostic & support services. Learn more: bit.ly/uscbhlmc
