President's Message
"Thanks to scientific advancements, the world has gained understanding into Alzheimer disease and other dementias."
- Dr B. Lynn Beattie
It's been over four decades since I accepted a leadership role at the then-brand-new Clinic for Alzheimer’s disease and Related Disorders at UBC.
Today, thanks to scientific innovation, the world is better at diagnosing Alzheimer disease in living patients. We’re clearer on the genetic factors behind dementia, and know what lifestyle choices people can make to lessen its effects.
However, until we have a disease-modifying intervention or, even better, a cure – we won't be able to reduce the devastation of memory loss disease to the sufferers themselves and their loved ones.
The only way to propel tangible change forward is through funding leading-edge research to prevent, treat and ultimately cure all forms of dementia.
