After nearly two years without state funding, SIU School of Medicine’s Memory and Aging Network, a program of the Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (CADRD), will close unless it can raise $500,000 by May 31.
If Alzheimer’s patients who receive Medicaid could stay at home just one month longer (instead of being placed into long-term care facilities), the state could save $16 million a year. Programs like the Memory and Aging Network help patients stay at home longer.
There are several ways your gift can support the work of the Memory and Aging Network for years to come. Visit us here to learn more.
Together we can provide hope, preserve memories and make life better for thousands of  Central and Southern Illinois patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia and their families.
