Alzheimer’s is an escalating health crisis. More than 6 million Americans are living with the disease and over 11 million individuals are their caregivers. Tremendous gains have been made in understanding the science and basic biology underlying Alzheimer’s and other dementias. These advances are leading to great strides in strategies for prevention, detection, diagnostics and therapeutic interventions. The Alzheimer’s Association® is a global leader in research, mobilizing the field to advance the vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Join us to learn more about:


• The landscape of Alzheimer’s and dementia science
• Risk factors for Alzheimer’s and all other dementia
