Who We Are

The Alzheimer's Association -- Hawaii serves the residents of Hawaii, with staff located on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. We help all those facing Alzheimer's disease and other dementias by providing local support groups and educational resources, while advancing crucial research and public policy initiatives.

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.

Our vision: A world without Alzheimer's®.

Worldwide, 50 million people are living with Alzheimer's and other dementias.

Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain disease and the most common form of dementia. Dementia is not a specific disease. It's an overall term that describes a group of symptoms.
