About the Luncheon
Alzheimer’s Los Angeles has long recognized the importance of partnering with faith-based organizations to help spread awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and preventative health. We partner with organizations of various faiths and denominations, such as Baptist, Catholic, Church of Christ, Episcopal, Islam, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Religious Science, Seventh Day Adventist, and Apostolic.
Since 2008, Alzheimer’s Los Angeles led a coalition of local nonprofits and faith-based organizations to promote risk reduction strategies and empower Blacks and African Americans to take charge of their health.
The first Faith and Health Luncheon in 2009 had about 20 people attendance from local churches in attendance. Last year’s event had nearly 200 people from over 12 churches and places of worship.
Past partner organizations: American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, Los Angeles Region Champions for Change-Network for a Healthy California, Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center, Mary S.
