How do I provide a blood sample?

Blood draws are completed at Quest Diagnostics Patient Service Center of your choosing. Please visit the Quest website here and use your unique code and study specific date of birth assigned to you to schedule an appointment. If you do not know your unique code and study specific date of birth, please feel free to call study staff at 415-221-4810 ext. 25957 for assistance or email us at biomarkers@brainhealthregistry.org.

Appointments must be scheduled Monday – Wednesday before 1pm. Participants that arrive for a blood draw outside of this window, will not be permitted to have their blood drawn and will be asked to come back on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
