On October 14, 2025, our Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center welcomed researchers, caregivers, and community members for an engaging, in-person program focused on Lewy body dementia, early-onset dementia, and more.

Dementia is complex. It affects memory, emotions, families, and even legal decisions. That is why our 29th Brain Health Forum was designed to reflect that complexity. The program was a dynamic blend of learning and wellness, featuring expert-led presentations and live Q&As, an energizing exercise demo, and a meditation session.

Thank you to our presenters, partners, volunteers, and attendees for making this event a success. See you in 2026!

SEPTEMBER MEN’S HEALTH PROGRAM

Our gathering this month was extra special because we celebrated Dr. Trammell’s 50th birthday! As the Co-Lead of our Outreach, Recruitment, and Engagement Core, his dedication to this work and the community runs deep. It was a joy to honor him for all he continues to do.

We also welcomed Attorney Antavius Weems, who spoke about scams targeting older adults and how to protect your legacy. He offered practical advice with just the right amount of humor to keep the room engaged. The verdict was clear: “Bring him back!”

And of course, we got moving with John Lewis because movement is medicine, especially when music is involved.

Since 2021, our Men’s Health Program has provided a space for men in metro Atlanta to connect, learn, and have real conversations about the health topics that matter most.
