The grand piano in Ann Biggs’s living room was the centerpiece of a life built with her husband, Glenn Biggs, a San Antonio banker, civic leader and philanthropist. Before he succumbed to Alzheimer’s in 2015, he was determined to address the lack of comprehensive Alzheimer’s care in South Texas. His vision and generosity laid the foundation of the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio.
Today, the Biggs’ piano sits inside the Center for Brain Health, where the Biggs Institute is housed, as a tribute to Glenn and Ann’s journey and a source of music and comfort for patients and families. Dr. Sudha Seshadri, founding director of the Glenn Biggs Institute, explains: “Even when language begins to fade, rhythm finds its way through. A familiar song can bring someone back, not just to a memory, but to themselves.”
