Florham Park, NJ- March 11, 2019—The Alzheimer’s Association Greater New Jersey chapter today announced an inaugural statewide partnership with Fort Lee-based, health care provider, CareOne, LLC. CareOne has committed to be the 2019 New Jersey statewide sponsor of the five, Walk to End Alzheimer’s events – the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Funds raised through the partnership will enhance the Association’s care and support programs, including the 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) and provide educational materials on brain health as well as funds for critical Alzheimer’s disease research and grassroots awareness activities. In addition, the Alzheimer’s Association will provide services, support and education on brain health and Alzheimer’s disease to CareOne staff, caregivers and early-onset constituents. The sponsorship also includes co-hosting an educational conference to be planned and developed collaboratively later this year.
“With 32 facilities in New Jersey, this commitment from CareOne will move the Alzheimer’s cause forward,” said Cheryl Ricci-Francione, executive director, Alzheimer’s Association Greater New Jersey. “Together we will reach more families who need information, resources and guidance as they face an Alzheimer’s diagnosis and caregiving challenges. In addition, funding will support critical research exploring the causes of, and treatments for, Alzheimer’s disease.”
“We’re thrilled to be teaming up with the Alzheimer’s Association Greater New Jersey chapter to help find a cure for one of the greatest threats to the health of increasing numbers of Americans every year, especially the families that we serve here in New Jersey,” said Chief Strategy Officer, Tim Hodges, CareOne, LLC. “We are proud to make this commitment to the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association and its critical fight to end Alzheimer’s disease.”
