 Icon for brain healthBy Richard L. Peck, Contributing Editor
What happens when a philanthropist, a star architect, and a world-class medical center agree on a mission? The result would be something quite possibly looking and functioning like the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. It's the latest addition to the unique world of Las Vegas, Nevada, architecture-except this structure has a more personal meaning than most: It's the $80 million expression of a man's grief for his father, victimized by Alzheimer's disease 16 years ago. The facility, which officially opened this past May, is one of the country's (and world's) unique healthcare projects. Here offering their takes on it are Larry Ruvo, Chairman and Founder of Keep Memory Alive; William Peacock, the Clinic's Chief Operating Officer; Michael Modic, MD, Head of the Clinic's Neurological Institute; and Frank Gehry.
