This time of year, we take a moment to recognize the impact of dementia and Alzheimer’s on individuals’ health and well-being while raising awareness about these conditions.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 55 million people worldwide live with dementia, including 5.8 million Americans. Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death among adults in the U.S. and incurs substantial healthcare costs, estimated at $277 billion in 2018.
