The Oregon Chapter offers a variety of educational programs for families and individuals facing Alzheimer’s, as well as community members. Many programs are free of charge.

Portland Metro Area

Getting Started - A Good Place to Begin
An early diagnosis helps individuals receive treatment for symptoms and gain access to programs and support services. It may also allow them to take part in discussions about care, living arrangements, money and legal matters. If someone you know has been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer' disease or a related dementia, attending "Getting Started" may be a good way to begin.

Please join us and learn more about Alzheimer's disease. Get practical information and start planning for the future.
