Last week, we celebrated an exciting milestone: the successful completion of Butler’s Campaign for the Weld Building.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, this historic building has been transformed into a modern space that strengthens Butler’s Memory and Aging Program, advancing innovative research, treatments, and care for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

To everyone who helped make this transformation possible, thank you for investing in the future of memory and aging care.

Ten years of appointments. PET scans, MRIs, bloodwork, and more than a few batches of cookies for the research staff along the way.

Colby Rottler joined the ADNI study at Butler Hospital’s Memory and Aging Program after watching a lifelong friend decline with Alzheimer’s. More than a decade later, he continues to come back, motivated by the opportunity to contribute to research that could make a difference for others.

“You’ve got three or four appointments a year, two or three hours each time, but that’s a small thing to give." Over the years, the people at MAP have become much more than a research team. As Colby puts it, “these people are like my grandchildren.”
