Cognito Therapeutics and Ochsner Health launch Brain Health Collaboratory to advance new care models for Alzheimer’s disease

The Ochsner Collaboratory establishes the Gulf South’s first statewide platform for non-invasive brain health innovation, combining Cognito’s investigational Spectris technology platform with Ochsner’s expansive clinical network to explore new models for brain health care delivery across both urban and rural communities throughout the region.

Ochsner Rush Health welcomes Brandi Hansford, MSN, CPNP-PC, to Ochsner Children’s Health Center in Meridian, where she provides expert pediatric care, including wellness exams, sick visits, and chronic condition management. Board-certified in pediatric primary care, Hansford emphasizes preventive health and family-centered care to support children’s long-term wellness.

This marks the fourteenth consecutive year that the UQ-Ochsner MD Program’s match rate has been 90% or above. Overall, more than 66% of the medical school’s graduates matched with their top three choices for residency, with 46% of our medical students placing with their first choice.
