Since
its founding in 1978, the Alzheimer Society has grown
and expanded to serve Canadians from coast to coast.
You can learn more about that evolution here and read
some of the highlights of the Society's work since its
early years.
Historical
note, 1906: Dr. Alois Alzheimer, a German
neurologist and psychiatrist, first described what
later became known as Alzheimer's disease: a progressive,
degenerative brain disease with no known cause
or cure.
