Mary Beth Kenkel, Ph.D., Dean, College of Psychology and Liberal Arts and Professor of Psychology, Director

The Holmes Regional Medical Center/Florida Tech Joint Center for Advanced Therapeutics and Research was created to encourage interdisciplinary clinical, scientific and engineering research to foster the development and application of novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods in medicine otherwise unobtainable in each institution individually. The center provides a means by which the faculty of Florida Tech and the medical staff of Holmes Regional Medical Center/Health First (HRMC) have mutual access to the facilities and services of each institution for the purpose of both basic and clinical research. The Joint Center also houses the East Central Florida Memory Disorder Clinic, administered by HRMC. The Memory Disorder Clinic provides a variety of services to patients and their families.
