Finding a Care Center:
- Visit the National Institute on Aging's Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers finder at nia.nih.gov to locate NIA-funded centers near you

Your neurologist or primary care doctor is also a wonderful resource — they often know about local trials and can help check if you qualify, walk you through what's involved, and monitor you throughout.
One myALZteam member shared a positive experience: after two years in a drug trial, their neurologist reported they were "holding steady," which brought them great relief.
It's worth reaching out to your care team to explore what's available close to home. 💙
