I applaud Governor Brian P. Kemp on selecting Trey Kilpatrick as his chief of staff. Trey was a valuable member of my U.S. Senate team. He is smart, dedicated & brings the experience needed for the role. I wish Trey & the Kemp administration the best as they continue to put Georgians first.

I enjoyed visiting my good friend and longtime barber, Tommy, today for a haircut. It's a beautiful day in Georgia!

I’m humbled by the work of UGA President Morehead and Governor Brian P. Kemp in establishing this position to research and raise awareness of and education on brain science and neurological disorders. My deepest gratitude and thanks to all who contributed. news.uga.edu/isakson-chair-…

Congratulations to UGA and Georgia Research Alliance on selecting such a renowned leader for the John H. “Johnny” Isakson Chair and Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in Parkinson’s Research. I look forward to Dr. Anumantha Kanthasamy's work and leadership in this role.

Today, I am proud to announce my latest project, The Isakson Initiative, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and funding for research related to neurological diseases like the one I'm fighting, Parkinson's. isaksoninitiative.com

We are in this fight with you, Mark Richt. The battle against Parkinson’s has only strengthened our faith, family, community and resolve. Together with UGA’s GRA Eminent Scholar in Parkinson’s Research, we will keep working for a cure. #DGD #IsaksonInitiative

U.S. Senator Max Cleland was a brave American and a proud Georgian whose own experiences guided his service to our nation's veterans. The tributes since his death have been moving, and while he was laid to rest at Georgia National Cemetery today, he will not be forgotten.

As a member of the Board of Parkinson's Foundation, I thank the many friends of The Isakson Initiative who made possible our recent leadership gift to the #ReachFurther campaign. We remain focused on advancing research and finding a cure. parkinson.org/get-involved/m…

I’m grateful for the heroic, long life of service that my friend U.S. Senator Bob Dole gave our country, our veterans, and the freedom-loving world. I will miss him and his sense of good humor, and Dianne and I are praying for Elizabeth and all who love them. #RememberingBobDole

It is with deep sorrow that The Isakson Initiative shares that former U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson passed away overnight on December 19, 2021, at age 76. Sen. Isakson’s family is grateful for the prayers and support. Funeral arrangements will be shared when finalized.

One of Johnny's most-requested speeches was always the "Six Silent Secrets (of a Happy, Healthy Life)." We remember him today with that speech, delivered here at the UGA Commencement in 2014. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=KXiVAh….

After his retirement from the U.S. Senate due to Parkinson's, Johnny dedicated his life to raising awareness & funding for research related to neurocognitive diseases through The Isakson Initiative. In lieu of flowers, his family has suggested support: secure.anedot.com/the-isakson-in….

Johnny's farewell to the Senate speech has been remembered and celebrated since it was delivered on December 3, 2019. His message was one that was embodied every day of his work in business and public service. Watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=higi1G….

In September, supporters of The Isakson Initiative raised $1 million at a benefit for the nonprofit Johnny founded to raise awareness and funding for research related to Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and related dementia. Revisit this special event: capitol-beat.org/2021/09/former….

In addition to The Isakson Initiative, the UGA created the endowed Johnny Isakson Chair for Parkinson’s Research & Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar. The inaugural Chair was named in March, and Dr. Anumantha Kanthasamy has already begun. news.uga.edu/inaugural-isak…
