WORLD ALZHEIMER'S MONTH

September is World Alzheimer’s Month — a time to shine a purple light for the millions of individuals world-wide and all the family members and caregivers locally affected by Alzheimer's disease. We need your help to honor those struggling with this disease every day by mobilizing friends, families, neighbors, co-workers and customers to help bring an end to Alzheimer’s disease. The time is now to commit to going purple during World Alzheimer’s Month (WAM). The end of Alzheimer’s starts now. The End of Alzheimer’s Starts with YOU.
