Churches and organizations, join the
Alzheimer's Early Detection Alliance (AEDA)
The Alzheimer's Association invites churches and other organizations to join the Alzheimer's Early Detection Alliance (AEDA) as a way to educate their members about the warning signs of Alzheimer's, the importance of early detection and the resources available to help.
As a member of the AEDA, you will:
- Gain access to an online toolkit filled with resources and information
- Reinforce your church as a source of support and community
- Join a nationwide network of other organizations that are addressing the growing Alzheimer crisis
Two ways to join the AEDA
Join the AEDA at no charge and receive free resources to help spread awareness about Alzheimer's.
Become an AEDA Member
To join the AEDA as a Member, simply agree to educate your church about the importance of early detection and the warning signs of Alzheimer's disease. We will provide you with a free, easy-to-use toolkit that includes information for newsletters, posters, e-mails and other messaging. Your church will be listed on the AEDA Web site.
Become an AEDA Champion
To do even more, become an AEDA Champion by taking an additional step to educate both your members and the public. This can be as simple as providing tips on your public Web site, hosting a community "lunch and learn," or sharing information about Alzheimer's at your conferences.
