LBD Awareness Month
With 1.4 million people nationwide living with Lewy body dementia, the LBD community is not just those living with the disease. Our community includes their families, care partners, friends and neighbors. It also includes healthcare providers, clinical researchers, volunteers, donors and the LBDA staff.
2023’s October Awareness Month recognizes and embraces the tenacity, resilience, compassion, and dedication of the entire LBD community. Join us as we rally together this month to raise awareness of this little-known and largely under-diagnosed disease.
