The OCVA program is a multi-disciplinary program involving our community residents, county organizations, and various physician and industry partners. The goal of the OCVA Program is to help you maintain a healthy brain for life. This can best be achieved with education, risk factor management, prevention, and timely intervention against cognitive decline. To achieve this goal, the OCVA program will:

• Educate the public about how to maintain brain health,
• Support the local medical community to perform state of the art care, and
• Coordinate community support organizations in their efforts to promote healthy aging

The program includes:

• An online information portal serving as the program’s hub.
• A series of educational seminars offered for free to the public.
• A physician education/support program to implement the highest standards of care in cognitive assessment and treatment.
• Online resources for the public to identify, track, and reduce ADRD risk factors that threaten their cognitive health.
• A community memory assessment and monitoring program for interested persons.
• Full-time professional resources to counsel the public about ADRD risk reduction, early detection, diagnosis and treatment.
• A referral service for directing the public to medical and community resources as needed.

The program is made possible by a generous grant to the Hoag Neurosciences Institute from the UniHealth Foundation, a non-profit philanthropic organization whose mission is to support and facilitate activities that significantly improve the health and well being of individuals and communities within its service area.

These programs are available to people in Orange County at no cost.
