Alzheimer's Association West Texas Chapter
Right Here in El Paso, We're Fighting Back Against Alzheimer's. More than 16,000 people in El Paso are living with Alzheimer's disease today. El Paso County ranks among the top 10 counties in the nation for Alzheimer's risk, and that number is only expected to grow. Behind every one of those 16,000 is a family learning how to say goodbye to someone one memory at a time. The Alzheimer's Association West Texas Chapter is here so no one in our community has to face that alone.

Why This Matters in El Paso

El Paso isn’t just on a national list. It’s home. Families across our community are facing Alzheimer’s and other dementias, often while trying to understand a new diagnosis, find support, and plan for what comes next.

Funds raised here stay here, helping El Paso families and workplaces access support and education close to home. That includes:

• 24/7 multilingual Helpline with licensed clinicians who offer guidance and connect families to resources. * In-person and virtual support groups. • Community presentations and caregiver education events. • Employee lunch & learns, including Brain Health at Work presentations. • Brain Health resources including 10 Healthy Habits for Your Brain, and events throughout the year.

Your gift helps ensure that our neighbors have someone to turn to and a place to start.

We walk for those we love.
El Paso shows up.
Every step has a story.
Together, we move hope forward.
Hope brings us together.
She carries our hope.
