Northeastern New York Chapter

In New York, more than 426,500 people are living with Alzheimer’s. Additionally, 543,000 caregivers dedicate 879 billion hours of unpaid care. From the Capital Region to Plattsburgh to Oneonta and every town in between, your local Northeastern New York Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association is here to help.

Whether it’s offering support to anyone facing Alzheimer’s, advocating for the needs and rights of those facing dementia, or advancing critical research, we work toward methods of treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.
