| Statement of Purpose: |
For more than 25 years, the
Alzheimer's Association Colorado
Chapter has lead the fight against
Alzheimer's disease and related
disorders by increasing the
understanding of dementia and its
impact on family and community,
providing information and support
for those affected, and promoting
the advancement of research.
The Alzheimer’s Association
Colorado Chapter is the premier
source of information and support
for the more than 72,000
Coloradoans with Alzheimer’s
disease, their families and
caregivers. Through its statewide
network of offices, the
Alzheimer’s Association offers
education, counseling, support
groups, Medic Alert® + Alzheimer’s
Association Safe Return® and a 24-
hour Helpline, at no cost to
families, and funds advancements
in research to prevent, treat and
eventually conquer this disease.
In addition, the Alzheimer’s
Association recruits, trains and
mobilizes advocates to generate
action on Alzheimer’s issues by
elected officials at the state and
federal level, and provides
training and education for
professional health care
providers. Families throughout the
state have access to support
services through regional offices
in Colorado Springs, Denver,
Pueblo, Durango, Fort Collins,
Grand Junction,
and Greeley.
Our mission
To eliminate Alzheimer's disease
through the advancement of
research; to provide and enhance
care and support for all affected;
and to reduce the risk of dementia
through the promotion of brain
health.
Our vision
A world without Alzheimer's
disease. |
