The Alzheimer’s Association Nebraska Chapter (alz.org/Nebraska) is committed to leading the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia through education, advocacy, support and research. The Nebraska Chapter serves as a vital resource for individuals and families affected by dementia, including the nearly 36,000 Nebraskans living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers.

The Nebraska Chapter provides free programs and services designed to help individuals and families navigate the challenges of Alzheimer’s and dementia. These offerings include:

  • Support Groups: Safe spaces for caregivers and individuals living with dementia to share experiences and connect with others facing similar challenges.
  • Education Programs: Community presentations to increase understanding of Alzheimer’s, reduce stigma, and promote brain health.
  • 24/7 Helpline: A free, round-the-clock helpline, (800) 272-3900, that offers expert guidance and support for families at any stage of the disease.

Alongside education and prevention, the Nebraska Chapter is committed to raising awareness about Alzheimer’s by advocating for public policies that benefit individuals living with dementia and their families.

The Nebraska Chapter will host their Advocacy Day on February 20, to provide a critical platform for individuals to share their stories, connect with lawmakers, and push for funding and legislation that supports families affected by the disease.

Those interested in becoming an advocate, can reach out to the Alzheimer’s Association Nebraska Chapter at NEVolunteers@alz.org or register for Advocacy Day at alz-ne.quorum.us/event/18892. You can also text AIMWALK to 52886 to send a message directly to local lawmakers asking them to support Alzheimer’s research and resources.

The Alzheimer’s Association Nebraska Chapter can provide free services to Nebraskans statewide thanks to the generosity of individuals, local businesses, and event sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring an event, please reach out to nebraskainfo@alz.org or visit alz.org/Nebraska.
