BIG NEWS we’ve been waiting for!💜

BIG NEWS we’ve been waiting for!💜

📣BREAKTHROUGH NEWS: Today marks a turning point in what we know about brain health.

The results from U.S. POINTER, a two-year, randomized controlled clinical trial, provide the rigorous data needed to say with confidence that healthy behaviors can meaningfully protect brain health across diverse populations in the U.S.

The findings, shared for the first time today at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference, tested lifestyle programs that simultaneously targeted risk factors for cognitive decline. The programs focused on:

✅👟Aerobic exercise
30–35 minutes of moderate-to-intense aerobic activity 4X times a week, plus strength and flexibility exercises 2X a week.

✅🧠Cognitive engagement
Computer-based brain training program 3X a week for 30 minutes, plus regular engagement in other intellectually challenging and social activities.

✅🥗Nutrition
Adherence to the MIND diet, which emphasizes dark leafy green, berries, nuts, whole grains, olive oil and fish, and limits sugar and unhealthy fats.

✅🫀Health Monitoring
Regular check-ins on blood pressure, weight and lab results.
Participants followed a self-guided or structured lifestyle program. Remarkably, cognitive function improved over the two years for both intervention groups. The group that followed a more structured program improved even more.

U.S. POINTER is the single largest research commitment the Alzheimer’s Association has made in its history. Thank you to our community, our donors, the study participants and the staff. You made these findings possible.

We’re honored to highlight our wonderful partners at Wisteria Place Assisted Living & Legacy Lane Memory Care 💜

Wisteria Place is more than just a care facility—they are a community dedicated to providing the highest level of care while striving to be the most well-respected in their field. Their commitment to excellence is seen in every detail—from the safety and comfort of their residents to the compassion shown by their staff each day.

Their campus offers a warm, welcoming environment where residents feel at home. The secure memory care unit provides peace of mind for families, while the spacious, beautifully maintained courtyard invites residents to enjoy the outdoors safely. Thoughtfully planned activities and enrichment programs keep residents engaged, active, and connected—nurturing both body and mind.

We are so grateful for our continued relationship with Wisteria Place. They served as our Mission Moment Sponsor at the Steppin’ Out for Memories Gala in March and are proudly returning as our Stage Sponsor for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Abilene this October.

Luann Akin and Karen Doherty combined have over 17 years as volunteers on our planning committees for the Alzheimer’s Association - North Central Texas Chapter here in Abilene.

Thank you, Wisteria Place, for standing beside us in the fight to end Alzheimer’s! 💜

We would like to extend our condolences to the Frizzell family in this difficult time. Holly Frizzell was a dedicated supporter of the Alzheimer's Association and an active volunteer in the Abilene area. After her husband was diagnosed with dementia, she became prominent in local support groups and friend circles, and was always present at the annual Alzheimer's Association seminars. She served as team captain for the Walk to End Alzheimer's Team, The Frizzell Survivors, and as Honorary Chair for the 2018 Steppin' Out for Memories gala. Even well after she was removed from a caregiver role she was deeply interested in the latest research on the disease, often calling the Association office for updates. Her contributions towards our mission to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia were greatly appreciated and our hearts are with her family and the communities affected by the flooding in Central Texas.
