First U.S. Brain PET Clinic by Algernon Health

planned

Algernon Health plans to open its inaugural brain PET scanning clinic at the HCA Florida University Medical Office Building on the campus of HCA Florida University Hospital. The clinic will be the first in the U.S. dedicated to brain-specific PET imaging, focusing on early detection and diagnosis of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia, epilepsy, neuro-oncology indications, and movement disorders like Parkinson's disease. The clinic will feature the CareMiBrain system, an FDA-cleared standalone PET scanner designed specifically for brain imaging, which reduces patient radiation exposure by approximately 25%. Algernon USA LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, will operate the clinic under a five-year lease with an option to renew for an additional five years. The company plans to expand with multiple clinics across the United States as part of a broader rollout strategy.
