Our center was founded in 2005 at the University of Minnesota. Two years later, the name was changed to honor the late N. Bud Grossman, an esteemed businessman and community leader. Bud passed away from Alzheimer’s disease on January 11, 2010. Bud’s wife, Beverly Grossman, is a driving force behind our center’s mission. We honor Bud as a leader in the Minneapolis philanthropic community as we carry on his legacy through our work.

We need answers and solutions, and we need to find them quickly. We need to learn exactly what causes dementia and how to prevent it. We need to find biomarkers for earlier diagnosis, new effective therapies, and better ways to manage the disease in our communities—with a focus on preventing it from developing in the first place. At the University of Minnesota, we’re diligently working toward these answers. The Grossman Center engages in research, clinical care, education, and community engagement to accomplish this mission.
