The Susan and Charles Berghoff Foundation, a California-based nonprofit, has received a grant from the Santa Clara Family Health Plan’s Board-designated Innovation Fund.
This grant aims to address the increasing public health issue of dementia, particularly focusing on Lewy body dementia.
Lewy body dementia is a progressive brain disorder. It affects thinking, movement, behavior, and mood. It is one of the most common types of dementia, yet it remains underdiagnosed.
The Berghoff Foundation plans to use the grant to increase awareness and education about Lewy body dementia. Their goal is to improve early detection and support for those affected.
This initiative comes at a crucial time. The number of individuals living with dementia is rising. Efforts like these are essential to support patients and their families.
The collaboration between the Santa Clara Family Health Plan and the Berghoff Foundation highlights the importance of community partnerships.
Together, they aim to make a positive impact on public health by addressing the challenges posed by dementia.
