The Reason to Hope Gala will be held on Saturday, May 4, at the
beautiful Hilton Hotel in downtown Albany. Join us as we honor those who
have contributed to our vision of "a world without Alzheimer's." The
evening features a cocktail reception, dinner, silent auction, and
dancing with Soul Session. We look forward to seeing you for fun,
inspiration, and a reason to hope - all to benefit the Alzheimer's
Association of Northeastern NY.
The
Northeastern New York Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association serves a
17-county area in the northeastern most corner of New York State. These
counties cover over 15,000 square miles, representing approximately 30%
of New York State, and are home to 1.5 million people. It is estimated
that 40,000 of the friends and neighbors living in this area have
Alzheimer’s disease. As is the fact across the country, almost 80% of
all persons who have Alzheimer’s live at home and are cared for by a
family caregiver and 1 out of 3 adults personally know someone with the
disease. This means that there are approximately ½ million people in the
northeastern region of New York who need education, information and
referral services and approximately 24,000 family caregivers who need
support, respite care and an array of tools to help them with this
difficult task. We pride ourselves for being here for our families
and those who work with our families. To make sure that we are
accessible we have an administrative office in Albany and 11
Point-of-Services located throughout the region, including Sidney,
Delhi, Cooperstown, Glens Falls, Queensbury, Indian Lake, Hudson,
Catskill, Johnstown, Amsterdam and Fort Edward. Our mission To eliminate Alzheimer's disease
through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and
support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the
promotion of brain health.
