Lewy Body Dementia Association
Nearly 400 Lewy Body Dementia caregivers listened in on a scientific Webinar on dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) aimed at physicians and researchers, hosted by the Alzheimer Research Forum. Before and after the event LBD caregivers submitted over 100 questions on LBD clinical care to the panelists, which included Dr. Ian McKeith, Dr. James Galvin and Dr. James Leverenz who are members of LBDA’s Scientific Advisory Council. Due to the tremendous caregiver response, Alzforum turned to LBDA to provide answers to a broad assortment of caregiver questions.
