Two great conversations this week in Peru: @WorldDementia hosted a symposium on public policy approaches to #ENDALZ in LATAM, and @alzassociation convened the region’s dementia research, care and public health communities for #AAICSatellite.
Our 2025 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures is a call to action – to do more, to make more progress, and to give people more reasons to believe that our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia is possible.
These numbers tell the story of #AlzheimersInAmerica. Our families, our economy and our communities are straining under the weight of this disease. But together, we can make a difference. Watch 👁️, share ➡️ and join the fight to end Alzheimer’s 💜. #ENDALZ
