Alzheimer’s Association

The Alzheimer’s Association Massachusetts and New Hampshire Chapter is the regional arm of the national nonprofit working toward a world without Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The chapter provides support groups, education, care options and local resources for people living with dementia, along with their families and caregivers, in both states. Nationally, the association works to accelerate global research, drive risk reduction and early detection, and maximize quality care and support.

Local programming ranges from early-stage programs and services to virtual series for family caregivers, alongside brain health guidance and information on the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s. Supporters can sign up for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, described as the world’s largest event raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research; participants can captain a team, join one or walk on their own. Volunteers and advocates in both states support the chapter’s work.
