Alzheimer's Association Greater East Ohio Chapter

About Us

The Alzheimer's Association Greater East Ohio Chapter serves families in 17 counties, including Wayne County, making care and support available to 60,000 people with Alzheimer's disease in our chapter area, and an additional 250,000 people affected through their role as caregivers. The Chapter helps families and caregivers learn about the disease; gain an understanding of the many challenges memory loss presents; and receive emotional support. Families can also find information regarding legal, financial and lifestyle needs, as well as obtain information on care options and gain access to clinical drug trials. Our mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease and all other dementia 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. We offer monthly Support Groups in Wooster and Orrville for caregivers as well as several virtual Support Groups. We also offer community education programs. Our programs and services are offered free of charge. Our annual Wayne County Walk to End Alzheimer’s takes place each fall, providing awareness and raising funds to help support our vision... to create a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
