Who We Are

The Alzheimer's Association is the national voice for people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia disorders, their families and caregivers. Nationally, approximately 5.4 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. By mid-century, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s disease may triple to a projected 11 million to 16 million, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, slow or stop the disease.

Over 350,000 New Jersey individuals and families are affected by Alzheimer's disease.

The Alzheimer's Association provides information, support, and education and training for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer's. Anyone may contact us through the 24-hour Information Helpline (1.800.272.3900), the chapter Web site (www.alz.org/nj/), or through our community education and outreach efforts.

   
Advocacy and Research

We support advocacy on Alzheimer's disease and related memory issues before federal, state and local government. We are the largest private funder of Alzheimer research, and have committed more than $100 million toward research into the causes, treatment, prevention and cure of Alzheimer's disease.
