Since 2008, The Ivey has been a beacon of hope for those in Charlotte wishing to optimize brain health and memory wellness for those they love.
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, The Ivey is a not-for-profit organization devoted to serving individuals living with early memory or cognitive changes as well as their caregivers through a series of programs designed to optimize brain health for aging well, promoting memory wellness, and providing respite and education for the whole family.
Our mission is to be a beacon of hope for those facing early memory-related challenges, interventional care for their caregivers, and empowerment for an aging community determined to embrace preventative measures for aging well.
Our vision is to be the Charlotte region’s premier place for a community brain health and wellness education center devoted to lifestyle changes, memory wellness, and caregiver health, strength and resilience.
