ACT Chanhassen
N
ALZHEIMER'S
of
As a statewide collaboration, ACT on Alzheimer's fosters collective ownership and accountability in
preparing Minnesota for the personal, social and budgetary impacts of Alzheimer's disease and related
dementias. No single organization owns, finances or controls the initiative. The collaboration works
toward five goals while fostering a health equity perspective:
• Identify and invest in promising approaches that reduce costs and improve care.
• Increase detection of Alzheimer's disease and improve ongoing care and support.
• Sustain caregivers by offering them information, resources and in-person support.
• Equip communities to be "dementia capable" to support residents who are touched by Alzheimer's
disease.
• Raise awareness and reduce stigma by engaging communities.
Communities around the state are using the Dementia Friendly Communities Toolkit to create a
supportive environment for people living with Alzheimer's and their families. An update on the
Chanhassen ACT on Alzheimer's initiative will be provided this evening.
