Over 3,500 residents of Imperial County currently suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. In the United States, the disease kills more people than prostate cancer and breast cancer combined. 1 in 3 seniors will die from Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. Help us help those affected by this terrible disease get the information they need to be better able to manage the disease and as well as plan for the future. Become a community educator today!

The job of the Community Educator is to deliver community education programs developed by the Alzheimer’s Association using prepared training materials provided by the Association. All topics are related to Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias as well as information that affected individuals and families need regarding learning how to recognize the signs of Alzheimer’s disease, tips for healthy aging and planning for the future.
