Advocacy And Justice
Because brain health equity is a human right.
What We Stand For
NeuroCognitiva was founded on the belief that too many people are left out of neuroscience, care, and research because of language, race, immigration status, income, or geography.
We advocate for policies and practices that ensure every family can access quality Alzheimer’s and Autism care, and that the healthcare and research workforce reflects the communities it serves.

Cross-Border Lens We bring insights from Latin America to reimagine systems in the U.S. and beyond.
Data-Driven Our advocacy is backed by real data on disparities, outcomes, and lived experience.
