  • Public Awareness And Education

    PUBLIC AWARENESS AND EDUCATION - ALZHEIMER'S IS A PROGRESSIVE, DEGENERATIVE, AND ULTIMATELY FATAL DISEASE. TOO FEW AMERICANS UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT AND FUTURE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF ALZHEIMER'S. ALREADY MORE THAN 6 MILLION AMERICANS ARE LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S AND MORE THAN 11 MILLION PEOPLE ARE PROVIDING UNPAID CARE AND SUPPORT. THIS MASSIVE GROUP IS IN NEED OF INFORMATION AND RESOURCES. CARINGKIND HAS INVESTED IN EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS AND INITIATIVES TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND AWARENESS OF THE ORGANIZATION AS THE CENTER OF HELP AND HOPE. KEY MESSAGES INCLUDE THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DETECTION, RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER'S AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE SOCIETAL IMPACT OF THE DISEASE. MILLIONS OF CONSTITUENTS ARE ENGAGED TO EDUCATE THEIR COMMUNITIES AND WORKPLACES.
