LET’S ACT NOW
Alzheimer’s disease,
it’s everyone’s business.
A Progressive Disease with Evolving Needs
Over 170,000 people in Quebec live with Alzheimer’s
disease or a related form of dementia, 85,000 are in Montreal.
Each year, the Alzheimer Society of Montreal supports over 2,000 Montrealers living with dementia and their families. In order to meet the accelerated demand, we must enhance our capacity through the varied programs and services offered at our 12 locations across the island of Montreal.
Our campaign will directly invest in digital technology, support services for caregivers and on-site activities in our newly renovated permanent Activity Centre.
