Our staff

The Leenaards Memory Centre - CHUV (CLM) joins many specialists: neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, neuropsychologists to take stock of the situation, propose treatment (drug-based or otherwise) and provide guidance for the management of problems in everyday life, in constant contact with the doctors and calling in, if necessary, the services of a medical-social centre.

CLM works with regional Memory centers of the Canton of Vaud, located in Aubonne, Clarens and Yverdon-les-Bains. Their leading physicians are associated to CLM. CLM also collaborates with the Alzheimer Vaud and Swiss Alzheimer Association.
