Alzheimer's Association: Vermont Chapter

Alzheimer's Association: Vermont Chapter The Alzheimer's Association is the world's leader in Alzheimer's research and support. Our programs and services for family are free of charge.

Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging. It is a brain disease that progressively robs people of their ability to remember, think, understand and communicate. There is no cure, yet, but there are treatments which may delay life. Advances in research and drugs currently in clinical trials give us hope for effective treatments and, one day, a cure.

💜Feature Friday is Here Again 💜
As many prepare to celebrate the end of the summer this Labor Day weekend, we first must thank more of our very generous sponsors for all of our Walks to End Alzheimer's events. As we know, caregiving for loved ones living with Alzheimer's or other dementia doesn't take a long holiday weekend. Our sponsors' support helps us fund critical services like our 24/7 Helpline to assist with any need, any time. We truly appreciate these partnerships and want to share their names with you; be sure to thank them on Walk Day too!

Calvin Hara of Hawaii is Alzheimer's Impact Movement (AIM) August Advocate of the Month! Calvin spent close to 30 years as a long-term care and assisted living administrator. He's dedicated the last decade to the fight to in honor of his mother and uncle who both lived with dementia.

This year, Calvin joined a caregiver panel at the 2026 AIM Advocacy Forum, marking his eighth trip to Washington, D.C., as an advocate. "When we hear about screening, a blood test for Alzheimer's, that means hope," Calvin told the Forum audience. "Our children and grandchildren hopefully will not need to have a discussion about how to care for someone with Alzheimer's."

Calvin's advocacy has helped translate into real results. In Hawaii, Calvin and his fellow advocates secured a $3 million annual state appropriation to establish the HANAI Memory Network Program, which will improve early diagnosis, care navigation and treatment access. At the federal level, Calvin's voice was crucial in building support for the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act, which Calvin sees as crucial to supporting Hawaii's Executive Office of Aging.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the fourth Alzheimer’s blood test to help doctors evaluate people who are showing signs of memory or thinking problems — the second such test cleared in just the past week.

While no single test can diagnose Alzheimer’s on its own, used alongside a standard clinical evaluation, blood tests like this one can help families get answers faster.

Progress like this doesn’t happen overnight. It reflects more than a decade of sustained public and private investment in Alzheimer’s and dementia research. That investment continues to turn scientific discovery into real options for people and their families.

A morning walk became a lifesaving mission. 🐾
Earlier this year, Dan DiCadilo was walking his dog Gozier when she began barking insistently. She was laser focused on a nearby house. Dan didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. He tried pulling her along, but she kept edging him nearer to the house.
As they drew closer, Dan discovered a woman lying unresponsive outside in the cold wearing nothing but a white robe. He called 911 and Gozier remained by the woman's side until help arrived.
It turns out that the woman is living with Alzheimer's. Fortunately, she survived after spending a week in the ICU. The town of Ashland, Virginia officially recognized Gozier’s lifesaving instinct. “If it wasn’t for Gozier, I would have never stopped because I didn’t see anything,” said Dan.
Thank you to our national corporate partner Edward Jones for sharing this story. Dan is a financial advisor for the firm. And a special thank you to Gozier for her heroism.
