    Blog

    The Alzheimer’s Association created this blog to allow caregivers and those with Alzheimer’s to share their story, and to keep the community up-to-date on efforts to increase awareness and federal funding of research. Our hope is that alz.org/blog provides a place for all of those affected by Alzheimer’s — whether a person with the disease, a caregiver, a researcher, a doctor or an advocate — to continue the conversation.
