A Letter from our President & Board Chair

Life does not end with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

This small seed of hope is what we try to instill in every single person who comes through our doors. If you think we sound a bit like Pollyanna, forgive us – we know how this disease ends, and are painfully aware there is still no effective treatment or cure. But we passionately believe people can live well with dementia, and that with proper planning and care, each remaining day can be a good one.

We call this hope a seed, because it is just the beginning. That seed grows and flourishes as families get the support and knowledge they need to become loving care partners. It gets stronger each time someone can live in the moment, and that can be enough, even if they can’t remember it tomorrow. It’s hope that fuels each scientific breakthrough getting us closer to THE breakthrough, and it’s hope that makes us believe a future free from Alzheimer’s is possible in our lifetimes.

As you read through this report, it is our hope you’ll see how you changed the lives of thousands of San Diegans in 2018. Because of you, the road ahead for them, while not easy, is better and brighter.
