“Our hope, made possible by this generous gift, is to discover ways to promote aging with independence, grace and dignity for all.”
Under Tan’s leadership, the donation from philanthropist Maxine Platzer Lynn will help develop a long-term preventive care strategy to promote healthy aging in patients 40 and older, care coordination and navigation for older patients, and a brain health program for patients with family histories or risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease. The Bernard and Maxine Platzer Lynn Family Memory and Healthy Aging Program will complement the existing Memory and Aging Program in the Jona Goldrich Center for Alzheimer's and Memory Disorders, established in 2020.

“This investment by the Lynn family will support our urgent need to address healthy aging and provide resources for patients to navigate an increasingly complex medical system,” said Nancy Sicotte, MD, chair of the Department of Neurology and the
Women's Guild Distinguished Chair in Neurology. “Our collaborative care program will advance the long tradition of excellence in clinical care at Cedars-Sinai and establish a path for patients to access the best care to live their best lives.”
The program will serve as a national model for exceptional care, especially as the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to exceed 70 million in 2030. The program also provides care and support to patients with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
