About NADAM
President Reagan launched a national campaign against Alzheimer's disease 25 years ago when he proclaimed November as National Alzheimer's Disease Month in 1983. He advocated research as "the only hope for victims and families." The former president courageously announced his Alzheimer diagnosis to the public in 1994 and passed away ten years later.
