New Website: Alzheimers.gov
The National Institute of Health’s National Institute on Aging (NIA) has launched a new website, Alzheimers.gov, designed to educate and support people whose lives are touched by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
Alzheimers.gov is the federal government's portal to information and resources on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, including Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal disorders, and vascular dementia. Alzheimers.gov is managed by the NIA at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). A primary goal of Alzheimers.gov is to connect people to the many federal resources available to educate and support people whose lives are touched by these diseases in their various roles - for people living with dementia and for caregivers, health care professionals, researchers, and advocates.
The new website includes:
- Resources for community and public health workers, health care providers, and researchers
- Information about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, including causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment
- Tips and resources for caregivers and people living with dementia
- Clinical trials and studies people can join to help advance ways to treat and prevent dementia
- Updates on what the federal government is doing to address Alzheimer’s and related dementias
