The Alzheimer’s Association

We enhance care and support

The Alzheimer’s Association works on a global, national and local level to enhance care and support for all those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. We are here to help. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer’s. Formed in 1980, the

Alzheimer’s Association is the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

• We connect people across the globe through our online message boards, ALZConnected®. Our online community is ready to answer your questions and give you support.
• We provide caregivers and families with comprehensive online resources and information through our Alzheimer’s and Dementia Caregiver Center, which features sections on early-stage, middle-stage and late-stage caregiving.
• We help people find clinical studies through our free, easy-to-use matching service Alzheimer’s Association TrialMatch®. TrialMatch connects individuals with Alzheimer’s, caregivers, healthy volunteers and physicians with current studies.

We advance research

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.
