About
The Berkshire Alzheimer’s Partnership in alliance with the Alzheimer’s Association, is a regional coalition of volunteers dedicated to providing education, outreach, advocacy and support for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their families and caregivers.
The Partnership was formed in 2000 by local health care and human services professionals and family caregivers with the aim to identify and provide a comprehensive response to the changing needs of those with dementia in Berkshire County. We strongly value teamwork, volunteerism, diversity and differences, and we strive to be non-promotional in nature.
