Alzheimer's Association - Dallas & Northeast Texas Chapter

The Alzheimers Association was founded in 1980 by a group of family caregivers and individuals interested in research. Jerome H. Stone was our founding president. Today, the Association reaches millions of people affected by Alzheimers across the globe through our headquarters in Chicago, a public policy office in Washington, D.C., and a presence in communities across the country. We are the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimers care, support and research. Our Mission: 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.

As a nationwide organization, we have local chapters across the nation, providing services within each community to enhance care and support. The Dallas & Northeast Texas chapter serves 34 counties, offering support groups and connecting people across the globe through ALZConnected, our online community. We deliver education programs annually, participate in health fairs and conferences to engage in awareness within the community, and offer online information in 17 languages. Our professionally staffed 24/7 Helpline (1.800.272.3900) offers information and advice to more than 250,000 callers each year and provides translation services in more than 170 languages.
