From Heart to Head: Promoting Dementia Prevention, Empathy and Awareness
About
Our Mission
From Heart to Head focuses on dementia prevention, empathy, and awareness. Heart establishes dementia prevention in our youth through presentations and reading, and prevention through legislation. Head provides dementia empathy through interactive socialization events in long-term care facilities, awareness through social media, and legislation.
Your Health Begins From Heart to Head
Science tells us that poor cardiovascular health is linked to increased dementia risk later in life. What does this mean? This means we need to start prevention for potentially preventable diseases now - and that begins From Heart to Head.
What is From Heart to Head Currently Doing in the Community?
Currently, From Heart to Head is educating every generation to prevent dementia. It is through school visits, social media, and awareness that this disease will be preventable. In addition, legislation is enormously important. From Heart to Head played an active role in getting the BOLD Act, AAIA (Alzheimer’s Accountability and Investment Act), and the NAPA Reauthorization Act passed into law. These bills passed in 2024 will provide resources to underrepresented communities, dementia research funding, dementia caregiver help, and more.
