Only our name has changed...
The name has changed - but our services, support and commitment to you remain the same. The South Central Wisconsin Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association has become the Alzheimer's & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin.
After serious and lengthy consideration, our Board of Directors voted unanimously to disaffiliate from the National Alzheimer's Association. The National Association is increasingly focused on raising money to support national awareness and research activities. These are certainly important goals. However, our Board felt our ties to UW-Madison’s Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (W-ADRC) provide us with a unique opportunity to directly support cutting-edge research, and the dollars we raise are best spent on programs and services that support those impacted by dementia here in Wisconsin.
- Be assured we will be serving the south central Wisconsin community just as we have for over the last two decades.
- We will keep our regional offices in Lancaster and Portage that have made such a difference to our rural communities.
- There are no staff changes, and the Board of Directors remains intact.
We have a new toll-free number (888.308.6251) that is answered during regular office hours. Our office locations and local phone numbers remain the same, as well as our programs and services
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Paul Rusk, Executive Director, at 608.232.3400. We look forward to providing many more years of service to our community.
