This Is Why It Matters.
The brain is the most complex organ in our bodies. It is the headquarters of intelligence, interpreter of the senses, initiator of body movement, and conductor of behaviour. Diseases, disorders, and injuries of the brain have a profound influence on a person’s quality of life, independence, self-worth and physical well-being.
The single most reliable risk factor for all neurodegenerative brain disease is age. We can’t change that (yet) so as the region’s population continues to grow and age, so too does the need for excellence in brain health care.
Equally as important, to support the advancement of excellence in brain health care, we will bring research closer to regional patients and provide them access to the best possible treatments and lifesaving care, close to home.
