Alzheimer's Association - Greater Pennsylvania Chapter

The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Our mission: the Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia - by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. 

More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. By 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million. More than 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementia. Annually, they provide more than 16 billion hours of care valued at nearly $272 billion.

Your support directly benefits Alzheimer's care, support, and research efforts locally and throughout the world. As the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer's research, the Association is committed to accelerating the global progress of new treatments, preventions and, ultimately, a cure. With your support, we can get closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
