    “They say that people need a village. A community. But really, they need an army. That’s what the Alzheimer’s Association helps us do — create an army to fight this battle with all our might, and we will prevail.”

    — Lori, who lost her husband and father to Alzheimer’s disease

    Our 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.

    But we can't end Alzheimer's without your help.
