Alzheimer's disease affects over 185,000 people in New Jersey. With over 279,000 unpaid caregivers providing care for those living with the disease, this represents a true public health crisis. Education and awareness can make a big difference in early diagnosis, access to effective treatment, and the ability to plan well for the future.
