About us
ABOUT OUR CHAPTER - 206.363.5500 The Western and Central Washington State Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association was incorporated as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization in Washington State in 1978 and merged with the Inland Northwest Chapter in 2015. We were started by family caregivers who came together around a common need of getting support and help for their loved ones with dementia. Our Chapter was one of seven founding chapters of the National Alzheimer's Association, headquartered in Chicago. Today our Chapter serves individuals living with Alzheimer's disease (and related dementias), their families, health care professionals and administrators, and the general public throughout a 23 county service area that runs from the Canadian to the Oregon borders. OUR VISION A world without Alzheimer's disease 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. You can call us any time of the day or night and get advice and information about the many issues and challenges of caregiving and about dementia. A call to our HelpLine is all it takes. 1.800.272.3900
