The Impact of Alzheimer's

The average lifespan of men and women is on the rise. And, with it, an increasing number of people are suffering from Alzheimer's disease or taking care of someone with Alzheimer's. Each person with Alzheimer's has a distinct experience and a distinct story, a story often carried in memory by a caregiver or loved one.

Our program dedicated to this topic focuses primarily on memory and loss. But caregivers, family, and friends have a vast stretch of experiences to share too. If your life has been touched by Alzheimer's, we'd like to hear your story.
