More about Alzheimer's Tennessee, Inc.

Alzheimer’s Tennessee, Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, was
founded in 1983 to help families understand and cope with the ravaging
effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer's Tennessee Mission: to serve those facing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, to promote brain health through education, and to champion global prevention and treatment efforts.

History: In 1985 the organization became a Charter Chapter with the National Alzheimer’s Association and became known as

ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S:
Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging. It is a progressive disease of the brain for which there is no cure. While it is not uncommon to occasionally forget things or lose items, when memory problems get in the way of everyday living, it is time to contact us for more information or see your doctor.

One in 20 people ages 65 to 74 have Alzheimer’s disease, and nearly half of those age 85 and older may have the disease (source CDC). Now, more than ever, there is a need to provide education, services and support groups for those afflicted with this incurable, terminal illness that steals both memory and dignity.
