About 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, including 120,000 Hoosiers. Every 68 seconds, someone develops Alzheimer's disease, making the disease the sixth leading cause of death. The direct and indirect costs of Alzheimer's disease and other Dementias amount to more than $200 billion annually.
