Research suggests having pets is linked to slower cognitive decline over time and lower dementia risk. Pets can encourage healthy habits, including:

✅More physical activity.
✅More social connections.
✅More moments to regulate stress.

Since we are the Emory Healthy Brain Study, we are featuring our team’s unofficial work buddies: their beloved pets.

Fun fact: Did you know we have our own “Pet of the Week”? It is a team-favorite tradition started by Kelsey Tucker, Clinical Research Coordinator III.

And we would love to see yours, too. SHARE A PHOTO (OR TWO) OF YOUR PETS WITH US! 👇

Research for the Future. Empowerment for the Now. Your Choice. Where Will You Make Your Mark?

On Emory Day of Giving, every gift becomes a statement about the future we believe in and the lives we choose to uplift today.

At the Goizueta Brain Health Institute at Emory University, that future is being shaped on two timelines at once. One unfolds in research labs and clinical trials, where scientists are decoding the biology of Alzheimer’s and related diseases. The other unfolds in classrooms and communities, where individuals and families are gaining the resources to live fully and confidently now.

Within the Institute, the Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center is advancing discoveries that will change the course of brain disease for generations. Researchers are identifying earlier markers, developing new treatments, and bringing breakthrough science closer to prevention and a cure. Your support on Emory Day of Giving fuels the science of discovery, accelerating progress when it matters most.

At the same time, the Charlie and Harriet Shaffer Cognitive Empowerment Program (CEP) is empowering people to live with strength and purpose today. Through evidence-based cognitive training, community engagement, and compassionate support, CEP helps participants build confidence, sharpen cognitive skills, and rediscover joy. Your gift funds the art of living, ensuring families facing cognitive change are supported, connected, and empowered.

Both paths are essential. One transforms tomorrow through research. The other transforms today through empowerment. Together, they redefine what is possible.

This Emory Day of Giving, make your mark.
