The Desert Southwest Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association serves Arizona families affected by Alzheimer's and dementia through support groups, education programs, and a 24/7 helpline. With more than 151,500 Arizonans living with the disease, the chapter connects patients and the roughly 242,000 unpaid family caregivers statewide to local resources and research updates. The national nonprofit also advocates for policy change and funds research toward prevention and treatment.
