    In North Carolina, more than 210,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s and 381,000 family and friends provide care to them. 
     
    Your local chapter of the Alzheimer's Association is here to help.
    The Alzheimer's Association - Western Carolina Chapter is one of two chapters in North Carolina that provides education, awareness, advocacy and support to all those impacted by Alzheimer's and other dementia. We are advocating for your needs and rights, and advancing critical research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.
