The Brigham and Women's Hospital Center for Alzheimer Research and Treatment (CART) resumes on site appointments this month 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. For a list of other precautions being taken at CART, see the attached document.
