Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect women - it disproportionately impacts them. As those most likely to be diagnosed and most often stepping in as caregivers, women are at the center of this crisis.

But we are also at the center of the solution.

Illinois Women Conquer ALZ (IWCA) was founded in 2017 to harness the power, passion and influence of women - to show up for one another, to lead, to give and to drive meaningful change in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

This is more than a community. It’s a movement. And wherever you are in your journey, there is a place for you here.
