Raise your voice

The Alzheimer Society of PEI gives a voice to all Islanders affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias at all levels of government.

Support from our governments is essential to meet the needs of everyone touched by this devastating illness. The Alzheimer Society of PEI is committed to advocating for legislation, policies and programs that are responsive to the needs of people with dementia, their families and caregivers.

But we can’t do it alone. By working together, we can offer the best care for today and the best hope for a world without Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

We need your help!

A provincial dementia strategy is vital to the future of our Island health-care system. The costs of dementia are skyrocketing, and we need your help. By 2040, the cost to Canadians will be an incredible $293 billion per year.

Write to Minister Doug Currie today. Let’s tell him why a provincial dementia strategy is important to all Islanders. Here is a sample letter that you can attach and send by email. 

Subject Line: I support a provincial dementia strategy.

To send by mail, print the letter and mail to:

Hon. Doug W. Currie
