Community Partnerships & Affiliations
In a continued effort to advance its goals of making clinical care and research opportunities available to patients and families dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, and to provide education about Alzheimer’s disease to the greater Boston community, the Boston University Alzheimer’s Disease Center (BU ADC) has established formal partnerships and affiliations with various agencies throughout Eastern Massachusetts. The Alzheimer’s Association has joined the BU ADC in partnership, and affiliations include the Carleton-Willard Village and the Senior Living Residences.
The BU ADC is currently planning additional community affiliations. For more information, contact Silvia Serrano at 617-414-1078 or sserrano@bu.edu.
The Alzheimer’s Association
The BU ADC works in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, the nations leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. The Alzheimer’s Association shares the BU ADC’s mission to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research, to provide and enhance care and support for all affected, and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. The Alzheimer's Association works closely with the BU ADC to increase and improve local services to ensure quality medical care, comprehensive education, and support services for patients with dementia and their family members through coordination of educational activities, and through the facilitation of recruitment efforts for the Center's clinical research studies.
“We value the dedication of the professionals at the BU ADC and we appreciate the collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association to assist the thousands of families being served by Boston Medical Center and to address disparities in health care delivery.”
- Jim Wessler, President and CEO at Alzheimer’s Association for the Greater Boston Area
