MGB Peri­operative Brain Health Study

  • Half of all people 65 and older will have at least one surgical procedure in their lifetime.
  • The longer you live the more likely you will develop a medical condition that requires surgery or a procedure.
  • Maintaining brain health after surgery and anesthesia is not only important to our patients, but it is an increasingly important patient safety imperative!
