The Importance of Early Detection in Alzheimer's Disease

A Video by the VoA Foundation

At the VoA Foundation, we recognize that early detection empowers individuals to make meaningful plans, access treatment sooner, and maintain independence for longer. That’s why we’re making early detection a top priority.

We created this video, in partnership with health care professionals, care partners and families who have been affected by Alzheimer’s, to showcase personal stories and insights about how an earlier Alzheimer’s diagnosis can provide precious time and opportunity for additional treatment and care.

Learn about the role of cognitive screening, annual wellness visits, and the importance of advocating for early testing with your healthcare provider. With advancements in disease-modifying therapies, detecting Alzheimer's early can make a life-changing difference. Watch now to discover why early detection matters.

We appreciate the support of our sponsors in making this video possible.
