The treatment is called Leqembi®, a new, FDA-approved medication shown to reduce the plaques in the brain that are the hallmark of Alzheimer's and dementia. The only place you can get this treatment today in the Mississippi Delta is at Bolivar Medical Center.
Leqembi is administered via an IV infusion every two weeks. Bolivar’s Outpatient Services Center offers this and other infusion services in new accommodations at the hospital. Our experienced team of nurses helps patients feel comfortable while they receive treatments.
If you or a loved one is experiencing issues with memory – or has a family history of Alzheimer’s or dementia – talk with one of our primary care providers today. Leqembi isn’t a cure for the disease, but it could delay the progression of it. And for those in the early stages of Alzheimer’s and dementia, that means time and hope.
