Sacramento County Public Health’s (SCPH) Healthy Brain Initiative Program​ is teaming up with the Alzheimer's Association during National Family Caregivers Month to equip caregivers in the County with resources that alleviate the overwhelming challenges associated with caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia.

More than 24,000 residents are living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia in Sacramento County, and by 2040, that number is projected to grow to over 56,000, according to the Alzheimer Association.
