Alzheimer’s disease touches millions of families—often in quiet, challenging ways that can feel overwhelming and emotional. This month is a time to raise awareness, show compassion, and remind those affected that they are not alone.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disease that slowly impacts memory, thinking, and daily life. It is the most common form of dementia and affects more than 7 million Americans.
Know the signs. Show support. Share understanding.
Early changes may include:
- Memory loss that disrupts daily life
- Confusion with time or place
- Difficulty completing familiar tasks
- Mood or personality changes
While there is no cure yet, early detection can make a meaningful difference—giving individuals and families time to plan, access care, and find support.
This June, let’s come together to:
- Check in on loved ones
- Support caregivers who give so much every day
- Spread awareness and reduce the stigma
- Take small steps to protect our own brain health
Whether you’re caring for someone, walking alongside a loved one, or learning more for yourself—you are not alone in this journey. Talk with your provider if you have concerns about memory changes or cognitive health.
