About Us - Henry Ostiana Foundation
Welcome to the Henry Ostiana Foundation, a dedicated beacon of hope in the struggle against Alzheimer's and dementia, particularly in Sint Maarten. Our journey and mission are inspired by the life and struggle of Henry Ostiana, who battled vascular dementia and sought to raise awareness about this often overlooked condition.
Our Inspiration:
Henry Ostiana's diagnosis of vascular dementia in 2013 marked the beginning of a challenging journey. Facing inadequate medical support in Sint Maarten, he and his wife Mireya moved to the Netherlands, where they began advocating for greater awareness and better care for Alzheimer's patients.
Foundation's Inception:
In 2017, the Henry Ostiana Foundation was officially established to further Henry's vision. Our goal is to enhance understanding and care for dementia patients in Sint Maarten. We work alongside organizations like Alzheimer Nederland and Alzheimer Sint Maarten, bringing together resources and knowledge to make a significant impact.
