Women's Brain Health Initiative
About Women's Brain Health Initiative
The Women's Brain Health Initiative (WBHI) is dedicated to advancing brain health in women through education and research funding. Recognizing that women represent about 70% of Alzheimer's disease sufferers, WBHI focuses on addressing the health disparities that affect women's cognitive wellness and longevity.
The organization aims to create preventative health education solutions and fund research targeting brain-aging disorders. WBHI promotes a collaborative approach to enhance women's brain health and advocates for equal attention to women's health in scientific research. They provide a range of resources, including practical tips for everyday brain health, scientific research updates, and caregiver support information.
Additionally, WBHI publishes MIND OVER MATTER magazine to foster discussions about cognitive vitality. They also offer the Hope-Knot, a symbol of the connection between cognitive thought and brain health, with proceeds supporting research in this area. WBHI serves women, caregivers, and their families, and actively seeks partnerships with businesses focused on women's health.
