We know navigating dementia care is stressful, and everyone deserves support. This partnership will help more people in more communities access the personal navigation support they need in the healthcare setting.

Today World Dementia Council met to plan for the next 10 years of dementia care, treatment, and support. Recent advances present opportunities and challenges. Together, we'll do what it takes to build a better future for people and families across the globe.

Nearly seven million Americans are living with ​Alzheimer's disease, according to a new report by the Alzheimer's Association. Experts warn this could become a public health crisis as numbers continue to rise. Eva Pilgrim reports.

The findings in our special section on dementia care navigation are clear: care partners are stressed. 60% of health care workers surveyed believe our health care system is not effectively helping people & families navigate care. Alzheimer's Association is here to help: 800-272-3900.

Our Facts & Figures report is out today, & the findings highlight the importance of the Alzheimer's Association’s work. Nearly 7 million people in the US age 65+ are living with Alzheimer’s & the cost of care is projected to rise to $360 billion this year – a $15 billion increase YOY.

I enjoyed chatting with Erin Schumaker today at the #POLITICOHealth Summit. We talked about important topics related to meeting our mission: Alzheimer’s research, treatment, and how we can increase access to new treatment for everyone who needs it.

To address disparities, we must understand how environmental & sociocultural factors impact disproportionately affected groups. Our ALZ-NET registry helps by collecting real world clinical & safety data in a broad, inclusive patient pop. across a variety of clinical settings.
