June is globally recognized as Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month, dedicated to accelerating research, supporting caregivers, and raising public understanding of brain health.
Military veterans face an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias due to higher rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and blast exposures. Approximately 450,000 veterans are currently living with these conditions, prompting specialized care and screening initiatives.
