The Alzheimer Society Research Program recently invested nearly 6 million to fund 44 dementia researchers across Canada.

 

This includes 2 researchers in Manitoba.

 

Here Erin Crawford, Program director with the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba shares words of inspiration.

 

"This is how we drive hope for the future.  So if somebody is diagnosed with dementia today or tomorrow or they already have been, the Alzheimer's Society is here with a whole bunch of really important supports for them and I'd encourage them to call us."

 

Crawford went on to say that this funding will help those that are diagnosed in the future as our understanding of Alzheimer’s continues to grow.

 

The Alzheimer’s Society is actively hosting outreach and support programs that are ongoing.
