As research into Alzheimer's disease has advanced, so too have the diagnostic tests that can detect the disease. As a result, more individuals are being diagnosed earlier in the disease process.

The Desert Southwest Chapter provides a variety of education sessions and activities designed to actively engage individuals with Early Stage Alzheimer's and their care partners in charting their journey with the disease.

Here is a current list of early stage social engagement activities. Pre-screening required. (520) 230-1755.
