Toronto Memory Program

Dr. Sharon Cohen, Medical Director of Toronto Memory Program, joined the shoelace-tying ceremony at the Walk for Alzheimer’s this past weekend in Toronto, helping kick off a day dedicated to raising awareness, supporting families, and advancing the fight against dementia. We are proud to stand alongside our community in support of those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Today, after more than 35 years of commitment to advancing Alzheimer's research, Lilly Canada announced Health Canada's approval of Kisunla (donanemab). Kisunla is approved as a once-monthly treatment for people living with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease. Kisunla is indicated for the treatment of adults with a clinical diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease, who are apolipoprotein E ε4 (ApoE ε4) heterozygotes or non-carriers, and have confirmed amyloid pathology. In addition to Canada, Kisunla is approved in 48 markets, globally.

"Changing the downward trajectory of Alzheimer's disease is of the utmost importance. Individuals at early stages of this disease live in their own homes and lead robust lives but often dread what is to come. Kisunla provides an important opportunity for early patients to maintain their independence, continue to engage in activities that they value, and to have a greater sense of hopefulness about their future." Dr. Sharon, Cohen, neurologist and medical director, Toronto Memory Program community-based medical facility.

Regular walking has been shown to support brain health and overall well-being in older adults.

Tip: Try walking at the same time each day to build a healthy routine.
