As the population ages, the number of people with Alzheimer's disease is growing--and so is the likelihood that you will come into contact with such individuals in the community.

In the Tampa Bay area, the Alzheimer Association's Gulf Coast Chapter is available to provide information, assistance, and education to those who may encounter individuals with Alzheimer's disease--especially family members and caregivers of Alzheimer's afflicted individuals.
