Today we had the pleasure of attending the Alzheimer’s Tennessee Walk Kickoff Luncheon.

We are especially proud to celebrate one of our own, TMDF Board Member Linda Johnson, who was honored with the Champion for Seniors Award from the CAC Office on Aging. This recognition highlights her incredible dedication to advocating for seniors and supporting families affected by memory disorders. 💜

Together, we continue working toward a future with better care, stronger support, and hope for those living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. 💜

We are incredibly grateful to have partnered with the Beck Cultural Exchange Center for a meaningful Black History Month Community Health Event centered on memory, brain health, and family support.

Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias disproportionately impact African American families, yet early education, diagnosis, and access to care remain critical gaps. This event was created to help change that through awareness, empowerment, and connection.

Dr. Monica K. Crane led an inspiring and informative conversation, sharing practical tools, resources, and hope for protecting brain health and strengthening families. Together, we took an important step toward ensuring our community has the knowledge and support it deserves.

Thank you to everyone who attended, engaged, and continues to advocate for better brain health in our community. 💜
