Editorially independent, supported by our community
Frustrated by the lack of an editorially independent resource
for the millions of people impacted by dementia,
we decided to create one.
Being Patient is run by dedicated journalists covering the latest research,
experts advice and patient and caregiver insights.
Free from bias, Being Patient exists as a service for the public.

Praise for our work
“Being Patient is a gift that keeps on giving for all who are looking for the most up-to-date and accurate information about brain health and dementia prevention. Their unwavering commitment to presenting the hard facts puts them in the top echelon of today’s health-related websites.”
– Rudy Tanzi, Harvard University neurologist and Alzheimer’s genetics expert
“Whether a caregiver, patient or someone at high risk for Alzheimer’s disease, having information that everyone can understand and digest is the key to empowering ourselves in this fight. The Being Patient team are true heroes when it comes to delivering it.”
– Jamie Tyrone, retired registered Nurse and CEO of B.A.B.E.S. (Beating Alzheimer’s by Embracing Science)
“It’s encouraging to hear voices and advice from others who are battling this disease. Being Patient is an excellent resource for anyone looking for reliable information about dementia and brain health — one that I wish I found sooner.”
– Elizabeth DeHaan, writer, granddaughter to a person with Alzheimer’s
