A Community Built on Compassion and Science
Alzheimer's Community Corp is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to empowering individuals, families, and caregivers through education, support, and community.
Our Mission
- 1
To provide information that people can use to delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease and decrease the probability that they'll develop Alzheimer's disease in the future.
- 2
To positively impact the well-being of both dementia patients and their caregivers.
- 3
To create a space that provides support and learning communities for patients, caregivers, friends, and families affected by Alzheimer's — and for those who want to learn about and support each other in living lifestyles that could delay or prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Our Story
Alzheimer's Community Corp was founded in Cary, NC by individuals who experienced firsthand the devastating impact of Alzheimer's disease on families and communities. Watching loved ones navigate a system with too little support and too little information, our founders set out to change that.
What began as a small local effort to share resources and connect caregivers has grown into a recognized nonprofit organization reaching families across North Carolina and beyond. We believe that knowledge is one of the most powerful tools in the fight against Alzheimer's — and that no one should face this journey alone.
Today, Alzheimer's Community Corp provides educational content, curated resources, caregiver support, and a growing community of people united by a shared commitment to brain health and compassionate care.

He served as the Director of Medical Information at Voyager Pharma, a small biotechnology company focused on finding a therapy for Alzheimer's disease, then as a Senior Director of Clinical Operations for a large, multinational Phase III Alzheimer's program. In 2006, he left the industry sector to become a Senior Clinical Project Leader at the Duke University School of Medicine where he worked for 10 years.

Research We're Watching
Donanemab & Emerging Treatments
We closely follow breakthrough research like the donanemab trials, which have shown promise in slowing early-stage Alzheimer's progression by targeting amyloid plaques in the brain. Staying current with emerging treatments helps us provide our community with the most up-to-date information.
We also track risk factor research — including the role of genetics, lifestyle, and cardiovascular health — to help our community make informed decisions about prevention.
