Nearly 13 million family and friends care for people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementia.
Join us in honoring their love and dedication during National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month at alz.org/honor.
ALT An older adult and a middle-aged adult are smiling at each other, embracing. Above them is a quote: “I feel a sense of calling in caring for someone who has given so much to the world, now in her time of need.” — Ken, who cares for his wife, Christy.
“Lead with the community at the center.” For Genelle Lamont, Ph.D., MPH, good research is rooted in people and relationships. “Trusted, authentic relationships are key to successful community-engaged research.”
The impact of her work is showing up in Minnesota. Indigenous communities are learning more about dementia and ways to reduce their risk. They are taking part in conversations about the programs, services and studies that are needed to help shape the research agenda in a way that honors Tribal sovereignty.
💜 During Native American Heritage Month, we’re grateful for leaders like Dr. Lamont. To learn more about the Alzheimer’s Association’s public health work, visit alz.org/publichealth. #ENDALZ
The holiday season can be especially hard on caregivers. They may feel overwhelmed by maintaining traditions while providing care and adhering to safety precautions. Offer to ease their stress by taking responsibilities off their plate. Learn more ways you can support caregivers in your life at alz.org/honor. #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth
Today we’re celebrating a record-setting milestone with @EdwardJones, our 2026 #Walk2EndAlz National Presenting Sponsor! Their Diamond National Team just surpassed $4 million in fundraising this year—the highest amount ever raised by a national team for Walk in a single year. Thank you to the 10,600 Edward Jones team members for standing with us in the fight to #ENDALZ. 💜
Last week at #AAICAdvacements: Reducing Disparities in Brain Health, over 500 leaders from academia, community organizations, government and philanthropy convened to advance brain health for all. Attendees explored brain health disparities through biological, behavioral, environmental and community lenses, heard from those with lived experience, and discussed how to fund and publish this research.
Thank you to all who collaborated on, engaged in and dedicated your time and energy to these vital conversations. You make progress possible! #AlzResearch
Caregiving is an act of extraordinary love. 💜
It can mean navigating medical appointments, managing daily routines, offering emotional support and advocating for a loved one through every stage of the disease. Caregivers are unsung heroes, often putting the needs of others first.
To every caregiver in our community: Thank you. We see you and are here for you.

What advice would you give to a caregiver of a loved one who's been newly diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease? We asked our National Early-Stage Advisory Group members, who are living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, to share their thoughts.
Their messages were clear: Take the time you need, find the joy in what you love, and celebrate who you are. 💜
