Message from the MADRC
As Massachusetts enters Phase Three of Reopening the week of July 6th, some MADRC-affiliated research clinics are beginning in-person visits while some will continue virtual visits.
The Brigham and Women’s Hospital Center for Alzheimer Research and Treatment (CART) resumes on site appointments this week on a limited basis. Staff are eager to welcome back participants and study partners of ongoing clinical trials and are taking precautions to keep everyone safe, including: wearing masks; limiting the number, and duration of, exposures; screening staff and participants and study partners for COVID-19 symptoms 24-72 hours prior to visits, and sanitizing exam and testing rooms before and after every visit.
