Currently, more than 19,550 Manitobans have Alzheimer’s disease of another dementia. Without significant change, the number of people with dementia will double within one generation. The cost to our economy will increase to 1.25 billion dollars. By 2038 our families and friends will contribute 22 million hours a year to care for people with dementia.

This predicted growth is a crisis. The numbers will overwhelm our families, our healthcare system and our economy if we don’t act now. We need your help to make dementia care a health priority.

It is because of people like you who share your stories or experiences and make time to connect with decision-makers, that we can make a difference and keep dementia care on the health agenda!
