We are here for you!

Alzheimer’s disease is a leading cause of death in the United States. More than 60,000 people in San Diego and Imperial counties are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, and more than 160,000 family and friends are providing care.

We are at a pivotal moment in the fight against Alzheimer’s. There are now treatments that change the course of the disease.

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. That work starts with your support.

Whether it’s offering support to anyone facing Alzheimer’s, advocating for the needs and rights of those facing dementia, or advancing critical research, we work toward methods of treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.

We are fighting for a different future. We are fighting for families facing the disease today, for more time and for treatments.

We’re closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer’s. But to get there, we need you.
