ACT on Alzheimer’s is a statewide collaboration working toward five goals:
- Identify and invest in promising approaches that reduce costs and improve care.
- Increase detection of Alzheimer's disease and improve ongoing care and support.
- Sustain caregivers by offering them information, resources and in-person support.
- Equip communities to be “dementia capable” to support residents who are touched by Alzheimer’s disease.
- Raise awareness and reduce stigma by engaging communities.
Using a Whole Community Approach
The work of ACT on Alzheimer’s has succeeded largely because of the passion and commitment of the dementia friendly action communities, Minnesotans, and supporters dedicated to preparing our state for the impacts of Alzheimer's. Nonprofit, governmental, and private organizations along with hundreds of individuals have been ongoing partners in our work.
