When we have our health, we have everything. But, when we think

health of our brains.

Sadly, mental health funding in Florida is ranked 49th in the nation.

Palm Beach County is ready . . . ready to drag brain health out of the dark ages and into the 21st century. In my 25 years of work in this arena, I’ve never seen our community so ripe to make this happen. That’s why Palm Health Foundation is leading the charge on brain health locally and shining a light on what we know is possible—with your help.

Please donate to The Brain Health Innovation Fund to advance brain health in Palm Beach County.

Existing mental health services are insufficient to address the current needs of our residents. But, there is great reason for hope. There is an explosion in brain health advancement right here in Palm Beach County. With the backing of research and technological innovations in the field, we are in a position to promote wellness while more effectively treating illness.

about our health, are we considering our brains? Since 2001, Palm Health Foundation’s mission has been to inspire and fund solutions to improve the health of our Palm Beach County residents. Recently, we have been putting a spotlight on our brain health. Why? Because our overall health and wellbeing is intimately connected to the good health of our brains.

We have remarkable assets to build on, from world-renowned research facilities and leading academic institutions to an expansive array of medical centers and community-based health resources. Our new Brain Health Innovation Fund will strengthen the local bonds between scientific research, community ties and quality care to transform brain health right here in our own backyard.
