Alzheimer's Association Early Detection Campaign

Beginning June 2, television viewers in the Twin Cities will see commercials about Alzheimer’s disease.  The Association is launching a campaign focused at people age 65 and older who are at greatest risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease. 

The campaign objective is to have individuals call the Alzheimer's Association if they are experiencing one or more of the "10 Warning Signs" of Alzheimer's disease. The commercial directs consumers to a dedicated website (http://www.10signs.org) and toll-free line (1-866-ALZ-4199) where they can receive more information. 
 
Physician Tool Kits for physicians and Memory Loss Kits for patients and families are available   If you have questions about the campaign, or would like to receive physician or family tool kits, please contact Annette Peterson on the 24/7 information helpline at 800-272-3900.
