Alzheimer's Association of Utah

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE PREVELANCE

I know someone with Alzheimer's.  So do you.  We all know people who are struggling or have been lost to this devastating, incurable disease. There are 38,300 people with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia with 112,000 caretakers in Utah. Alzheimer's is the 5th cause of death and 1 in 3 older adults will die from the disease. We need your help. 

The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.

YOU CAN HELP US!

The Utah Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association serves the 29 counties in Utah - covering the entire state.  Our statewide services (including in Summit County) include virtual and in-person support groups, online and in-person education programs, 24/7 Helpline (800-272-3900), and an award-winning website full of outstanding resources for people living with all forms of dementia, family caregivers, professional care providers and the general public. The Walk to End Alzheimer's is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. This year, The Walk to End Alzheimer's Summit/Wasatch had over 381 people Walk to End Alzheimer's in Park City! It was a beautiful community event to support the mission to see a world without Alzheimer's and all other forms of dementia. The Longest Day is another awareness fundraiser that brings people together sharing their passion for a purpose. Park City Pickleball raised over $20K for the Alzheimer's Association! There are many ways to be involved and we are so grateful!
