Alzheimer's Center
Alzheimer’s disease strips away our most human qualities – memory, personality, reasoning and language – eventually preventing the ability of patients to perform the simplest every day activities. In the United States alone, more than five million people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and this number is projected to grow to seven million by 2025.
Over the past three decades, researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) have made groundbreaking discoveries about how and why Alzheimer’s develops. The BWH Alzheimer Center unites our programs in laboratory research (led by Dr. Dennis Selkoe), clinical trials (led by Dr. Reisa Sperling) and patient care (led by Dr. Kirk Daffner) to advance the prevention and treatment of this devastating disease.
Without the support of our generous donors, our ability to care for patients, find new treatments, and educate the next generation of physicians and researchers would not be possible. Philanthropic support helps to grow and sustain important clinical programs, supports key investments in research and teaching, and helps to provide patients with the care they need locally, nationally, and even internationally.
