The Alzheimer's Association St. Louis Chapter made significant progress in 2013 to increase awareness, expand services, and advance research and public policy around Alzheimer's disease. They increased media impressions by 140% and provided training to over 5,700 professionals. Nearly $430,000 in additional funding was secured for respite services, supporting 860 local families. The largest research grant in the Association's history of $4.2 million over 4 years was also awarded. Despite these gains, Alzheimer's remains an enormous health and economic burden as the leading cause of death in the US, with no prevention or cure currently available.
