The Western New York Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association serves all eight counties of WNY - Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans and Wyoming - with education programs, support groups, and other resources for those living with dementia and their care partners. Supporting diversity, equity and inclusion is vital to their mission, and they are dedicated to assisting underserved and underrepresented populations who are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
