REPORT

Alzheimer’s disease is unmatched in the scale of its

DEVASTATING HUMAN & ECONOMIC IMPACT,

combined with the fact that, today, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is available to prevent, cure or even slow it.

As the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research we will ensure that everyone is equipped to battle Alzheimer’s. This past year,the Alzheimer’s Association St. Louis Chapter has made great strides in increasing concern

& awareness, advancing public policy, accelerating research and enhancing care & support.

Everyone is at risk. Even you. Everyone can help. Especially you.
