The Mission

• The mission of Alzheimer’s Disease as well as Related Disorders, New York City, Inc.* is to practise as well as promote comprehensive as well as compassionate aid for persons amongst Alzheimer’s illness as well as related dementia,
• to render back upward for their families as well as professional person caregivers, as well as to eliminate Alzheimer’s illness through the advancement of research.

The scheme intends to come across this mission inwards the community through increasing world awareness, providing education, creating as well as encouraging replication of model programs, collaborating with interrogation centers, as well as labor advocacy.

Formerly known equally the Alzheimer's Association, New York City Chapter, the nonprofit has been operating for thirty years, as well as has sixty employees. They volition temporarily live on known past times their legal name, Alzheimer's Disease as well as Related Disorders, New York City, Inc., until they unveil a novel mention as well as logo February.

The disaffiliation comes afterwards the Alzheimer's Association made the determination to restructure the scheme as well as combine all of its local chapters into i unmarried 501(c)(3) scheme – inwards essence, a unmarried charity.

The New York City Chapter (the Board) believed that the important structural alter would severely as well as adversely deport on its mightiness to render the same lineament as well as marker of service which has benefited New Yorkers for to a greater extent than than thirty years. 

Decisions as well as command of vital programs would withdraw maintain been turned over to Chicago as well as taken out of local hands. Importantly, this would withdraw maintain atomic number 82 to dissolution of  the New York Board of Directors.

Lou-Ellen Barkan, President as well as CEO said,

"I desire to assure New York City's Alzheimer's community as well as all of our clients, partners, supporters as well as friends that naught volition alter except our name. There volition live on no disruption of service. It volition live on employment concern equally usual. We volition stay the premiere scheme inwards New York City singularly focused on aid as well as back upward for individuals amongst Alzheimer's as well as related dementia as well as their families. 

New Yorkers volition live on able to rely on the same high lineament service they withdraw maintain come upward to expect."

We aid caregivers as well as people living amongst dementia withdraw maintain amount as well as meaningful lives. And, inwards the absence of effective therapies as well as a cure, the best therapy – the simply therapy – is goodness aid ... as well as this is where nosotros excel."

Note to readers of the .

I took a quick expression at the financials of Alzheimer’s Disease as well as Related Disorders, New York City, Inc. as well as they are inwards goodness shape correct now.

However, they volition clearly bespeak additional back upward to give-up the ghost along their mission equally a "stand alone, localized" back upward scheme for the Alzheimer's as well as Dementia Community.

You tin aid past times donating direct.

In addition, I desire to teach inwards clear that I honor as well as admire all the volunteers that give then generously of their fourth dimension as well as endeavour piece working inwards the Alzheimer's Association. However, I back upward the localization of aid as well as support; and, withdraw maintain been hoping to reckon this for some time.

Focused, localized back upward could real good atomic number 82 to organizing the Community into a to a greater extent than "vociferous" grouping designed to capture the attending of politicians, as well as "force" them to empathise nosotros bespeak to a greater extent than help.

About 72 per centum of all voters withdraw maintain been touched past times Alzheimer's or a related dementia. We bespeak to get-go organizing as well as voting equally a group. We bespeak to live on to a greater extent than similar other illness groups that are receiving greater funding, as well as especially greater investment from the regime for handling as well as cures.

Right right away we, the Alzheimer's community, are also fragmented. This must end. We must move together as well as assert ourselves. The best means to practise this is from the grass roots of each as well as every community some the United States.
