The Alzheimer's Association, Central New York Chapter, incorporated on August 1, 1982, as the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association, Inc., is a non-profit voluntary health organization which focuses on care, support and research for Alzheimer's disease. The organization is a chapter affiliated with the national Alzheimer's Association.

Mission

The mission of the Alzheimer's Association is: 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.[1]

The vision of the Association is "a world without Alzheimer's disease."[1]

History

The Alzheimer's Association, Central New York Chapter was formed following a 1982 community meeting in Syracuse, New York, to address the growing Alzheimer's population. A steering committee led by the Metropolitan Committee on Aging and local doctors conducted a public hearing and found overwhelming public support for services. The chapter formed in August 1982 and earned provisional certification from the National Alzheimer's Association in August 1983.

The national Alzheimer's Association initiated a series of mergers after the year 2000, combining smaller, local chapters into larger regional organizations. As a result, the Mohawk Valley and Southern Tier Chapters were merged into the Central New York Chapter, creating a 14-county organization that stretches from the Canadian to the New York-Pennsylvania and from the Finger Lakes to the Adirondack foothills.[1]

Services

  • The chapter offers support groups in more than 30 communities.
  • Dementia experts lead education workshops for family members and professional caregivers.
  • MedicAlert + Safe Return is the Association's 24-hour nationwide emergency response service for individuals with Alzheimer's or related dementia that wander or who have a medical emergency.

In addition, the chapter operates the Kirkpatrick Day Program, a social-model adult day program which serves up to 30 people per day. The program is located in the same building as the chapter office.

The Central New York Chapter has an office in Inner Harbor area of Syracuse—441 West Kirkpatrick Street.
