The Alzheimer’s Association Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter is a non-profit organization serving the Greater Houston area with a focus on supporting individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, their families, and caregivers. It provides a range of services including support groups, educational programs, individualized planning by licensed professionals, 24-hour helpline access, early-stage programs, safety services for those at risk of wandering, and training for healthcare professionals, all aimed at improving care and available community resources. The chapter also collaborates with governmental and academic institutions to promote research and better care, placing it within the broader national framework of Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.

Based in Houston, Texas, the chapter has evolved from a volunteer-driven initiative founded in 1980 into an organization that now serves 37 counties in southeast Texas, supported by staff and a large volunteer network. It positions itself as a leading source of dementia- and brain-health information for the community, with an overarching mission to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through research, enhance care and support for those affected, and reduce dementia risk through brain-health promotion. Aimed at families affected by the disease in the region, it engages with local professionals and organizations to deliver resources and services.
