More than 6 Million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease that steals minds, memories, and independence.
Alzheimer’s and dementia deaths have increased by 16% during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Scientists now fear that Covid could feed a spike in dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases in the decades ahead.
In 2021, Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias Cost the Nation $355 Billion
It is the most expensive disease in America. You are your client’s primary link to planning for the future and preparing for the complications that may arise after the diagnosis and through the course of the disease.
Alzheimer’s Disease is the 6th Leading Cause of Death in the U.S.
