About us

July 2007 marked the five-year anniversary of the Alzheimer's Association, Georgia Chapter, which was formed in July 2002 when the Greater Georgia, Central Georgia and Augusta chapters of the Alzheimer's Association merged into a single entity dedicated to serving the entire state.  Prior to this merger, the Atlanta Area Chapter had been serving the metro area since 1982.  The goals of the Georgia Chapter remain consistent with those of the national office: advancing research, enhancing care and support, raising public awareness and building capacity.

Coming together as one statewide chapter has allowed the Alzheimer's Association, Georgia Chapter to reach more people more effectively and more efficiently. There are seven regional offices, along with the state office in Atlanta.  It is estimated that 199,457 Georgians have Alzheimer's and nearly 500,000 others are affected through their roles as caregivers.  In fiscal year 2007, the Georgia Chapter was able to serve over 124,000 individuals through programs and services.

Our mission
To eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research and promotion of brain health, and to enhance care and support for all individuals, their families and caregivers.
