ORGANIZATION: Alzheimer's Association, Colorado Chapter

As the population ages and becomes increasingly more diverse, the Alzheimer's Association continues to expand its mission, activities and initiatives to remain highly inclusive and meet the demand for culturally and linguistically sensitive information and increase awareness among all persons living with the disease and their caregivers. We want to include all people in the fight against Alzheimer's by engaging diverse communities in the full mission of the Association.

Alzheimer's Association Hispanic/Latino Community Engagement Leaders (HLCELs) are volunteer community engagers and public speakers who help raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease, the free resources offered through the Alzheimer’s Association, and the many ways to join our cause at local community and education events within Hispanic/Latino communities. HLCELs deliver Alzheimer’s Association Core Curriculum using prepared training materials on topics related to Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias as well as information for individuals and families impacted by the disease.
