Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month
This June, join us as we recognize Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. Everyone with a brain is at risk to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Worldwide, there are at least 44 million people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and without a change, this number is expected to grow to 76 million by 2030. But everyone can help end this epidemic — especially you. Here’s how to get involved:
