The science is clear, lifestyle interventions can protect brain health and lower dementia risk. 🧠 That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of the Alzheimer’s Association Brain Health Roundtable. The Roundtable brings together leaders from health systems, disease‑specific organizations, employer coalitions, public health groups and other partners committed to advancing brain health nationwide. Through collaboration, the coalition will identify shared priorities, align strategies and translate emerging science on risk reduction into meaningful action. The Association is dedicated to making brain health a public health priority. We look forward to working with Roundtable members to ensure individuals across all communities have access to clear, actionable information to support lifelong brain health.
