June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month

More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association is working toward a time when we will have effective treatments, preventive strategies and gold-standard care for all people affected by Alzheimer's disease. Join their network of advocates, and they'll send you timely alerts to take simple actions that will help influence national policy and create widespread awareness of this devastating disease.
