Under construction in Columbia, the new Brain Health Center will serve as a hub for the Brain Health Network, which provides diagnostic services and supportive management of cognitive issues including Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia through rural clinics across the state.

The interior of the building will feature two MRI scanners, including an ultra-high field 7 Tesla scanner, the first of its kind in South Carolina. A wide-bore 3 Tesla scanner that is about twice as powerful as standard clinical MRI scanners will help provide brain imaging detailed enough to support the most complex diagnostic cases.

In addition to cutting-edge technology, the facility will also house exam and consultation rooms as well as places for patients to undergo physical therapy. The current plan is to occupy approximately two floors, leaving room for future expansion.
