A message from our President & Founder
How do you fight a disease with no known cure?
By Elizabeth Fine, LCSW
The Early Alzheimer’s Foundation (EAF)
strives to answer this question by creating a special place for people environments
of education, wellness, and respite for individuals in the first stages of
Alzheimer’s disease and their families, friends and caregivers through its
signature program The Memory Tree.
People with Early stage Alzheimer’s
disease and related disorders have the desire and the ability to play an active
role in our society, In many cases Alzheimer’s disease is being diagnosed
earlier and people are living longer in the early stage because of medical
advancements.
Friends, family, and other caregivers
need support and respite, information and friendships to help deal with their
responsibilities and the transitions forced by the disease.
I have created the EAF, a
not-for-profit organization because, as a social worker with over 34 years of
service to people with Alzheimer’s disease at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in
New York City, I became acutely aware of how little there was in the way of
support for people with early stage Alzheimer’s, and how much they can benefit
from that help. Now, I ask for your
support to build the programs that will fill this gap.
