Mission

The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer's.

The Big Idea

For the first time, medications are available that may slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, not just treat symptoms, for people with mild cognitive impairment, known as MCI, and early dementia caused by Alzheimer’s. Early detection and a timely diagnosis are now more important than ever. Your support of the Alzheimer’s Association is needed to continue the funding of promising research that is tackling the disease and to expand awareness and access to these new treatment options.

My mom passed away after 10 years of living with Alzheimer's Disease. I was her caregiver for the last 2 years of her life. The support I received from the Alzheimer's Association played a huge part in keeping me going. Thank you for your support, workshops, and for donating Alzheimer's awareness bracelets for my mom's celebration of life.
