UsAgainstAlzheimer's is a patient-centered non-profit driven by the urgency to effectively treat, prevent and ultimately cure Alzheimer's disease. Informed by the perspectives of people living with the disease and their caregivers, we take on the (toughest problems with effective leadership, stakeholder collaboration, and strategic investments.

We bring all of "us" together to:

  • improve brain health and promote earlier detection, diagnosis and intervention
  • champion health equity and access for communities of color and women who are disproportionately impacted by the disease
  • advocate for increased federal funding for research that will speed treatments to market, and
  • ensure the voices of people living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias and their caregivers are considered in scientific and regulatory decisions

Our theory of change is based on the belief that it will take all of "Us" to address a major health challenge like Alzheimer's, with cross-sector collaboration around common goals and initiatives. It means being nimble and responsive to partners, communities, policymakers, and the changing healthcare landscape.
