Alzheimer's disease, alone, accounts for $1.75 trillion in direct and indirect costs annually, according to the Alzheimer's Association.

The Center is the brainchild of Larry Ruvo, in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic, one of the most respected medical institutes in the country.

"Larry Ruvo has done it, he truly is the American story," said U.S. Senator Harry Reid. "He has brought the reputation of a first-class facility, one of the most famous architects of our time and now one of the five best medical institutions in the world to Nevada."

The $100 million facility, designed by Frank Gehry, will house clinical space, a diagnostic center, neuroimaging rooms, physician offices and laboratories devoted to clinical research. The design of the building, like the medical programming that will take place in the Center it houses, is both original and a paradigm shift for how a physical set
