Presidential Message on National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month

This National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, we stand with every American living with this cruel disease, every family walking beside a loved one through its difficult course, and every caregiver who devotes themselves to others day after day with extraordinary patience and love. We also pause to remember the millions of precious moments, cherished memories, and beloved lives that Alzheimer’s has taken from families across our Nation. Few illnesses challenge the human spirit like Alzheimer’s. It steals the memories that tell the story of a life—the names of old friends, the sound of a child’s voice, and the familiar places we once called home.
