The Alzheimer’s Association Heart of America Chapter is a nonprofit organization delivering information, support, and advocacy for people affected by dementia within its service area. It maintains a network of offices spanning two states and offers a wide range of programs and services to individuals living with dementia and to their family members and care partners, at no cost. A key component of its services is a 24-hour helpline that provides round-the-clock assistance. In addition to direct support, the chapter funds research programs aimed at preventing, treating, and ultimately conquering dementia, and mobilizes volunteers to raise awareness and advocate for the needs and rights of people affected by the disease. The organization is based in Prairie Village, Kansas, and is part of a national network that coordinates education, outreach, and advocacy related to Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
