In 2006, Keep Memory Alive® chairman and founder Larry Ruvo engaged acclaimed architect Frank Gehry to design a medical facility to treat brain disorders. From that beginning, an architectural icon took shape in the desert, its unique appearance and welcoming, light-filled atmosphere ensuring that Mr. Gehry had achieved his goal of creating something memorable.
“The mantra is ‘Keep Memory Alive,’’’ noted the 1989 recipient of the prestigious Pritzker Prize for architecture. “I’m trying to make a building that people will want to visit, remember, talk about and enjoy and, ultimately, will want to partner with us at the center to help cure brain diseases.”
Memories are precious. Help us preserve them.
Built on the power of one family’s promise and community philanthropy. Keep Memory Alive® and Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, through Cleveland Clinic Nevada, aim to find, fund, and facilitate the most effective and innovative research and caregiver programming for patients and their families.
