ALZHEIMER PROGRAM
The Grants to Increase Local Dementia Support (GILDS) grant program is funded through House Bill 1, Rider 31, 88th Legislature, Regular Session, 2023.
The GILDS program aims to:
Support persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers.
Promote early detection and diagnosis through dementia resource specialists located in multiple areas of the state, including areas of Texas with the highest rates of Alzheimer’s disease.
We provide education, support, and referrals for community resources. The GILDS program uses a public health approach to address ADRD.
