Florida Gulf Coast Chapter

The Alzheimer's Association, Florida Gulf Coast Chapter serves 16 counties with education and support as well as raising funds for research.

We provide education and support to all those facing Alzheimer’s and other dementias throughout our community, including those living with the disease, caregivers, health care professionals and families. We are also committed to advocating for the needs and rights of those facing Alzheimer’s disease and advancing critical research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.

June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month

Raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease this June by sharing you story, wearing purple and taking action. The more people know about Alzheimer's, the more action we can inspire.

The day with the most light is the day we fight.

Fight Alzheimer’s on The Longest Day® — the summer solstice on June 21 — by participating in a fundraising activity of your choice.
