Hopkins Ambassador Belinda Adams Selected for Prestigious Global Brain Health Fellowship

We are excited to announce that Hopkins Ambassasor Belinda Adams (OAM) has been selected for the 26/27 Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health Program at the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) based at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).   

This highly competitive fellowship recognises individuals who are driving meaningful change in brain health through leadership, research, and community impact. As an Atlantic Fellow, Belinda will participate in a comprehensive program of personal, professional, and leadership development designed to make unprecedented advances in the prevention and mitigation of dementia, and brain injury. She will join the program in September 2026 as part of an international cohort dedicated to advancing equity and innovation in brain health worldwide.

Belinda's goal is to leverage the Fellowship to build stronger global partnerships and drive policy changes that secure sustainable funding and access for creative modalities that are powerful, evidence-informed tools for rehabilitation in Australia and internationally. Drawing on her successful leadership of arts and health programs (Ballet for Brain Injury, Neurorhythm), Belinda's selection underscores the growing recognition of arts-based approaches and lived-experience expertise as vital components of transformative advances in brain health equity.
