Alzheimer's disease is one of the most critical public health issues in America. 

The number of Americans living with Alzheimer's is growing — and growing fast. While Alzheimer's places a huge burden on the health care system, with annual costs exceeding a quarter of a trillion dollars, the cost is far more than financial. This is why we unrelentingly advocate for the rights of the Alzheimer’s and dementia community, as well as critical research funding. We advocate to change the trajectory of this disease.

Our advocates play a critical role in our efforts to influence Alzheimer’s and dementia policy at the federal and state level. Working together we are making an impact.
