Lewy Body Dementia Association

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common form of progressive dementia in the United States — yet it remains widely misunderstood and frequently misdiagnosed. The Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA) is working to change that. As the leading national organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by Lewy body dementia (LBD), LBDA advances research for earlier and more accurate diagnosis, accelerates public awareness of this complex disease, and provides comprehensive education and compassionate support for individuals, care partners, and healthcare providers. Through educational programming bringing together cutting-edge science, compassionate care, and the power of the lived-experience, a nationwide support network, and convening leaders from academia, industry, and government to advance diagnostic innovation, LBDA is strengthening both the clinical landscape and the day-to-day experience of families navigating LBD.
