~ SACRAMENTO - In a move to raise awareness and support for those affected by Alzheimer's disease, Governor Gavin Newsom has declared November 2025 as "Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month" in California.
The proclamation, issued on November 6, highlights the state's commitment to addressing the challenges of Alzheimer's and reducing its impact on individuals and families. With an estimated 720,000 Californians currently living with the disease, Governor Newsom recognizes the need for bold initiatives to prevent, diagnose, treat, and support those affected.
Alzheimer's is a progressive and degenerative disease with no known cure that erases memories, reduces cognitive abilities, and can drain financial resources and independence. The governor acknowledges that certain communities are disproportionately impacted by this disease due to persistent health and socioeconomic inequities. These include women who statistically live longer than men and Black, Indigenous, Latino, and LGBTQ communities.

However, California is leading the nation in Alzheimer's awareness, prevention, care, training, support, and research. The state's Department of Public Health launched the Neurodegenerative Disease Registry on July 1st of this year to help healthcare professionals determine the incidence and prevalence of not only Alzheimer's but also other neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Lou Gehrig's disease.
In addition to this registry, Governor Newsom's Master Plan for Aging (MPA) Cabinet Workgroup has committed to new initiatives over the next two years that focus on meeting the priority needs of individuals and families impacted by Alzheimer's. The state also funds various centers that provide support for those living with Alzheimer's and their families. These include 10 university-led Alzheimer's Disease Centers, 33 Area Agencies on Aging, 11 Caregiver Resource Centers, 21 Regional Centers, and 28 Independent Living Centers.
The governor expresses his gratitude towards these partners for their vital work in supporting California's diverse family caregivers, who are the backbone of the state's long-term care system. He also thanks the members of California's Alzheimer's Disease and Related Conditions Advisory Committee for their service and advocacy, as well as the generous Californians who donate each year to fund Alzheimer's research through the voluntary state tax check-off.

Governor Newsom urges all Californians to join him in recognizing November as Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. It is an opportunity to educate ourselves about this disease and offer support to those living with it and their caregivers.
As California continues to make progress in addressing Alzheimer's, Governor Newsom will travel to Brazil for COP30, showcasing how the state is proving that climate action means more jobs, cleaner air, and lower costs. This comes as Donald Trump dismantles environmental policies and abandons efforts to combat climate change.
With real results showing a drop in statewide greenhouse gas emissions due to California's climate programs, Governor Newsom will represent a world-leading economy and climate solutions at COP30. As leaders from around the world gather at this conference, California will arrive with tangible progress towards a more sustainable future.
