The Alzheimer's Association just launched the Brain Health & Quality Care Initiative, a national effort to bring advances like blood-based diagnostics and new treatments into everyday clinical care, starting in primary care, so families aren't left waiting for answers. Progress like this depends on people who show up. If you haven't registered for the national NARFE Walk to End Alzheimer's® team, the time is now. Join us and help bring hope to the more than 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's and the nearly 13 million caregivers beside them. You've raised $73,955 and are 99% of the way to your $75,000 goal! The finish line is in sight, so let's cross it together. Thank you, NARFE members, for supporting our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. |

Families should talk openly about driving and Alzheimer's |
Driving demands quick reaction time and fast decision making; because of this, a person living with Alzheimer's or another dementia will eventually become unable to drive. Making decisions about when it's time to stop driving can be difficult, but dealing with the issue early on can help ease the transition. Get practical guidance in our newly launched microlearning series, “Let's Talk About Driving: Planning Ahead,” available on the Association's YouTube channel. |
