The Alzheimer's Research Foundation recognizes there are numerous organizations pursuing causes, treatments and cures for this disease, as well as other organizations that support the caregiver and patient families. In an effort to avoid duplication of effort, the Foundation shall attempt to investigate and support such avenues and services as they deem underserviced by others. They try to ‘fill in the chinks' as it were, while providing the Alzheimer's extended family with sources and resources.
