Established in 2003 and based in Lilburn, Georgia, LBDA partners with national organizations and medical centers (including Mayo Clinic) to host and promote education and professional development programs related to LBD. The organization operates four U.S. offices and runs research and community education initiatives, such as the Mayo Clinic–LBDA collaboration for disease education and advancing diagnosis and treatment. For Mayo Clinic connections specifically, LBDA has coordinated joint education conferences and CPD activities (e.g., “Moving the Needle” series) to advance LBD knowledge in clinical practice. Where it intersects Mayo Clinic Rochester: - LBDA collaborates with Mayo Clinic for education and professional development events related to LBD (Annual Community Education Conference; Moving the Needle: Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment). - Mayo Clinic and LBDA jointly support continuing education aimed at improving LBD diagnosis, care, and research translation.
