The goals of the Alliance include:

Convene diverse stakeholders: Partner with leaders from health systems, industry, research, advocacy, community-based organizations, philanthropy, government, and people living with dementia and caregivers.

Identify gaps in care: Mobilize cross-sector leaders to create solutions and amplify innovations to address gaps in information resources, care delivery, and support services.

Collaborate with policymakers: Work with federal advisory boards, agency leaders, and elected officials to overcome long-standing care and financing barriers and advance scalable solutions.

Propose policy and systems solutions: Develop and promote policies that build a dementia-capable workforce across the care continuum and advance comprehensive dementia-care models that align care preferences and incentives.
