    About Alzheimer's Association, Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter

    About Alzheimer's Association, Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter

    The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research. The Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter is one of seven founding chapters of the national Alzheimer's Association, headquartered in Chicago. Our Chapter began in 1979 when family caregivers came together around a common need of getting support and help for their loved ones with dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter provides support services, care options and education for families and caregivers throughout Minnesota and North Dakota.

    The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
