We’re Still Here for You!
The Alzheimer’s Association takes pride in being a community-based, community-focused organization. Following the newest advisory from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Wisconsin Chapter, out of abundance of caution, is postponing our plans to return to the office.
Care and Support offerings – including some Education Programs and Support Groups – are transitioning back to in-person meetings, following local public health guidelines. We ask for your patience as some transitions take time, depending on meeting location requirements. We will continue to offer virtual and on-demand options.
We are also excited that the Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be in-person in Wisconsin, with 27 Walks across our great state. This is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Join us: alz.org/walk
Please call our 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 for reliable information and support including the most up-to-date information on program opportunities in your area.
