East Texas Alzheimer's Alliance

We are an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization operating out of Longview, Texas. We are run by East Texans for East Texans with a staff and board of directors who live in this area. We are not a chapter of or affiliated with any national Alzheimer's organizations. This means, our fundraising and programmatic priorities are not dictated by a board of directors out of state, or even out of town. Having autonomy means we keep every dollar in East Texas to support you, our neighbors & friends.

Founded in 2017, the East Texas Alzheimer's Alliance (ETAA) is a vibrant consortium of local community organizations and individuals. The mission of ETAA is to provide unwavering support, resources, and education to individuals, families, and caregivers affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in east Texas. We place a special emphasis on caring for the caregiver.

We accomplish this by offering caregiver support groups, granting respite care funds, hosting workshops on normal versus abnormal aging, facilitating conferences on how to navigate local medical and financial resources, educating the public on the need to eliminate mental health stigmas, and so much more.
