June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. Did you know that 47 million people are living with Alzheimer's and other dementias worldwide?

Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. For more information call the 24/7 help line at 1-800-272-3900 or click here.
