There is some great news! We are in a new Era.
We are in THE ERA OF TREATMENT. For the first time in 2023 two new drugs were approved by the FDA for the treatment of early onset Alzheimer's. There are other drugs in clinical trials in the works this year and Therapies for more advance stages providing hope and a clearer way forward. The work continues and so does our fight for the day Alzheimer's is only in History books.
Behind all of these numbers though are people, people we know and love. 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.
