Alzheimer’s Association - National Capital Area Chapter - Education Programs


Based on the guidance from local public health agencies, our staff in all locations are working remotely.
Alzheimer’s Association programs continue virtually in the immediate term. We will re-evaluate these measures on an ongoing basis and resume in person engagements as soon as we are able, based on public health guidelines. 


To register for one of these free online courses, please call the 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 or go online to alz.org/crf. Registration is required.
