Alzheimer's Association Desert Southwest Chapter

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we acknowledge the effects that the enslavement of Black Americans still have on public health today. We're committed to pursuing health equity by ensuring all communities have a fair and just opportunity for early diagnosis, access to risk reduction, and quality care.

We are thrilled to announce that Erika DePasquale, Arizona Market President, for CenterWell Primary Care, has joined the Phoenix Walk to End Alzheimer's Executive Leadership Team.

As a respected healthcare leader dedicated to improving the well-being of older adults across Arizona, Erika brings invaluable expertise, passion, and community commitment to our mission. Her leadership will help strengthen our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support, and research while inspiring more people to join the fight against this devastating disease.

Please join us in welcoming Erika to the team as we work together toward a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

💜 Thank you, Erika, for lending your leadership to this important cause.
