In August 2011, at the age of 59, Pat Summitt bravely announced to the world her diagnosis of early-onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type. She and her son, Tyler, founded the Pat Summitt Foundation in November 2011 to help find a cure for this horrible disease. The foundation has formed a partnership with The Medical Center to create the Pat Summitt Alzheimer’s Clinic, which will open in December. If you would like to join the fight against Alzheimer’s, you may donate online at patsummitt.org or by mail at the following address:
