Featuring Claire Day,
Chief Program Officer, Alzheimer’s Association
Northern California and Northern Nevada

Alzheimer’s is a global health problem with more
than 6 million people living with the disease in
the U.S. alone. Tremendous gains have been
made in the understanding of the science and
basic biology underlying Alzheimer’s and other
dementias. These advances are leading to great
strides in strategies for prevention, detection,
diagnostics, and therapeutic interventions.
The Alzheimer’s Association is a global leader
in research, mobilizing the field to advance the
vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other
dementia.
