Alzheimer's Association

The Alzheimer's Association is a voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Chicago with a public policy office in Washington, D.C., the Association operates through 74 chapters across the U.S. It offers a free 24/7 helpline, care and support programs, education for families and caregivers, and community resources for those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias, while also funding research toward methods of treatment, prevention, and, ultimately, a cure.
