ALZHEIMER

AERS is not part of the Alzheimer's Association. We are a local 51(c)3 non-profit organization. All funding that AERS receives from grants and donations stay local and go back into the community we live and work in... AERS was first organized in December 2002 as Alzheimer's of South Central Alabama (ALZSCA) at the request of the Psychiatry Division of the Alabama State Mental Health Department, and initially served fourteen counties in and around Montgomery. In January 2003 ALZSCA was incorporated as a non-profit organization and later received a 501(c) (3) designation by the Internal Revenue Service. Because resources were insufficient to adequately serve such a large geographic area, in 2005 ALZSCA changed its name to Alzheimer's of the Greater Montgomery Area (AGMA) and limited services primarily to Autauga, Elmore and Montgomery Counties... Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disease that slowly destroys memory and other mental abilities.
