About us

The Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA)'s mission is ”to provide support, services and education to individuals, families and caregivers affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias nationwide, and fund research for better treatment and a cure." AFA unites more than 2,000 member organizations from coast-to-coast that are dedicated to meeting the educational, social, emotional and practical needs of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related illnesses, and their caregivers and families. Under AFA's umbrella, these organizations collaborate on education, resources, best practices and advocacy —all resulting in better care for those affected by the disease. AFA believes that by raising awareness of the disease and educating healthcare professionals and the public at large, we will: help remove the fear and denial surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses, lead to early detection and proper treatment, prompt greater utilization of community resources and ultimately improve quality of life.
