Alzheimer’s Community Partnerships
The Alzheimer’s Association works with local service providers and family members to support the creation of local Community Partnerships. Each Community Partnership is a self-sufficient task-oriented alliance of healthcare and human service professionals, family members and other concerned individuals working to increase and improve local services through: education, coordination, outreach, and advocacy. Each Partnership works closely with the Alzheimer’s Association, helping the association to be more responsive to local needs and in turn helping the association with advocacy and outreach.
