Our Mission
To optimize the quality of life for those affected by Lewy body dementia, we accelerate awareness, advance research for early diagnosis and improved care, and provide comprehensive education and compassionate support.
Our Vision
A world where living with Lewy is the same as living well.
Diversity Statement
LBD is a disease that does not discriminate. It has and will continue to affect individuals from every gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic background. Because of this, LBDA focuses on serving all individuals affected by LBD. It is imperative that our organization continues to be intentional in growing our understanding of the challenges faced by individuals living with LBD. LBDA is committed to advocating for equity and inclusion in research and making access to clinical care and support accessible to all.
