Women Continue to be at the Epicenter of the Alzheimer's Crisis

Posted by Kristin A. Hughes, JD | Mar 20, 2025 | 0 Comments

Not only are they more likely than men to be caregivers, women are also more likely to develop the disease. Of the more than 6 million people aged 65+ with Alzheimer's in the United States, nearly 4 million are women. 

We are proud to be a sponsor again this year. Please join us for the 2nd Annual Women Conquer ALZ - a celebration of women and our strength, courage and dedication to end Alzheimer's disease. This cocktail event will shine a light on the latest in the search for a cure. For our mothers, daughters, grandmothers, sisters and friends... we must keep going.

Thursday, May 1, 2025 6:00PM - 9:00PM Royal Oak Farmers Market 316 E. 11 Mile Road, Royal Oak, MI For tickets and to find out more visit https://e.givesmart.com/events/GB5/
