Improving lives by pioneering advances in brain health
Honor the Legacy of Senator John D. “Jay” Rockefeller IV
In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Senator John D. “Jay” Rockefeller IV may make a memorial gift to the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute Fund. Inspired by his mother Blanchette’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease, Senator Rockefeller and his family provided founding support that helped establish the Institute. Today, under Dr. Ali Rezai’s leadership, RNI continues that vision by advancing research, developing innovative treatments, and improving care for patients with neurological conditions. Memorial gifts will help carry Senator Rockefeller’s legacy forward by supporting research, expanding treatment options, and training the next generation of physicians and scientists.
Tomorrow's breakthroughs in brain health will happen here at the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute.
