Nevada Chapter Advocacy
Advocates in Nevada write emails, attend local policy events, post to social media, and meet with their elected officials across Nevada and Washington, D.C. They take action to urge lawmakers to pass bipartisan legislation that helps families living with Alzheimer’s and other dementia and to ask for more research funding to end this disease — once and for all.
Become an advocate and help advance public policies that continue to make Alzheimer’s a local and national priority.

The Alzheimer's Association Nevada Chapter partners with the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) to implement Nevada's CDC-funded BOLD (Building Our Largest Dementia Infrastructure) program and advance the Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) Road Map. Together, we are strengthening the state's public health response to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias through education, workforce development, public awareness, caregiver support, and improved use of data to better understand dementia prevalence, risk factors, and health disparities across Nevada.
Current efforts focus on the four priorities of the HBI Road Map: strengthening partnerships and policies, building a diverse and skilled workforce, engaging and educating the public, and measuring and utilizing data. The partnership supports brain health promotion and dementia risk reduction, increases awareness of early detection and diagnosis, provides training for healthcare and community-based professionals, and works to improve access to services and supports for people living with dementia and their caregivers throughout Nevada.
