The Alzheimer's Association, Greater Iowa Chapter dedicates donations to providing information, support, programming and services for the thousands affected by Alzheimer's or other form of dementia, who live in the 63 counties we serve.  This may include individuals with the diagnosis, but also caregivers and family members who are impacted.  We fund research into the cause, treatments, prevention and cure for Alzheimer's. 

Some statistics about Alzheimer's disease:

• Alzheimer's affects 5.4 million Americans, including the over 69,000 Iowans.
• By 2050, researchers say as many as 16 million Americans could have the disease.

• More than half of all Americans know someone with Alzheimer's.
• Alzheimer's disease is the only cause of death among the top 10 in America without a way to prevent, cure or even slow
