Leadership Statement:
<p>The Alzheimer’s Association Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter is working to create a world without Alzheimer’s by providing care, information, and support for all affected.</p>
<p>We are the primary source of dementia information and education programs for Southeast Texans. As our community’s baby boomers begin to reach their 60’s and 70’s, the need for our services is expanding greatly. </p>
<p>So many of us have family members, friends, and colleagues who have faced the devastation of an Alzheimer’s or dementia diagnosis. </p>
<p>I am committed to our mission of providing and enhancing care for all affected and reducing the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. I am joined by a dedicated and talented staff, an engaged board of directors, and hundreds of concerned volunteers and supporters who want to make Alzheimer’s just a memory.</p>
