Generation NeXt is a dynamic group of professionals in their 40s and 50s united by a deep personal connection to Baycrest and a shared commitment to defeating dementia.

Through fundraising and advocacy, we support groundbreaking research, innovative care, and prevention-focused solutions that improve the lives of older adults. Together, we are helping build a future where aging is embraced with dignity — a future where we fear no age.

Baycrest is an academic health sciences centre providing a full continuum of care for older adults on one campus. A global leader in aging and brain health, Baycrest integrates care, research, education, and innovation to address the most complex challenges of aging.

Baycrest is proud to be recognized as the #1 most research-intensive hospital in Canada for the third consecutive year, according to Research Infosource’s latest rankings of Canada’s Top 40 Research Hospitals. This distinction reflects the excellence and impact of Baycrest scientists, whose groundbreaking discoveries and translational research continue to attract significant competitive grants and philanthropic support.

This work is advancing new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of age-related cognitive decline and other complex conditions, reinforcing Baycrest’s leadership in aging and brain health research in Canada and around the world.

More than 770,000 Canadians are living with dementia, with nearly 100,000 new diagnoses each year. While there is no cure, evidence shows dementia risk can be reduced through early, personalized intervention.

Baycrest is Canada’s largest clinical trials site for dementia therapeutics and interventions, leading a prevention-first approach beginning in midlife.
