Hello! I'm Krista Loke. I am a lifelong Moorhead resident (go Spuds!) Wife, Mother, and amateur gardener. I am the Sr Branch Administrator with Tim Oehlke's Office at Edward Jones. I am also one of the Alzheimer's Regional Coordinators for Edward Jones. We have renewed our strategic alliance with the Alzheimer's Association and are partnering with them for the Walk to END ALZ .
Why am I leading the way to the first survivor by participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®?
The numbers tell the story.
Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050.
In North Dakota it was the 3rd leading cause of death in 2020 and that's 11.8% higher than the national average.
In Minnesota it was the 4th leading cause of death in 2020 and that's 11.6% higher than the national average.
In 2020 the Medicaid cost for caring for people with Alzheimer's in ND was $190 million. They are projecting an increase by 13.2% by 2025.
In MN, the Medicaid cost in 2020 were $905 million. They are projecting a 20.1% increase by 2025.
Behind all these numbers are people, people we know. Those living with Alzheimer's & other forms of Dementia and their caregivers. Our families, friends, colleagues and members of our community. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease. Together, we can end Alzheimer's disease.
