Emory Healthy Aging Study

“I never want to forget my future grandchildren the way my grandmother forgot me.”

This Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, we wanted to share a glimpse into why our Emory Healthy Brain Study does what we do. These handwritten brain cutouts reflect what so many of us carry into this work each day.

Behind every study, every clinic visit, every dataset and every breakthrough attempt is the same hope: more time, more clarity and more connection for the people we love.

🧠If you feel comfortable, we would love to hear your “why”, too. Share your story in the comments.

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! 👇
