💜 During Hispanic and Latino/a Heritage Month, we're grateful for volunteers who bring empathy and dedication to every #EndALZ family.

Jazmin Martinez has always believed that education can change lives. She has spent her career designing programs for vulnerable communities; understanding the difference it can make when people feel seen, heard and are equipped with the right resources.

When she discovered the Alzheimer's Association, she knew immediately she had found a place to put that purpose to work. Now, Jazmin volunteers as a community educator, leaning into her professional expertise to deliver educational programs to families in her community.

For Jazmin, volunteering has been a transformative experience. Her most treasured moments are the visits to community centers where Hispanic families gather. "The warm welcome from the people and their heartfelt gratitude after every presentation mean the world to me," she said. "There is a spot for everyone here. The environment allows you to grow and make a real difference right away."

A huge thank you to the Health Care Providers Council of Pierce County and Pierce County Human Services for inviting the Alzheimer’s Association to be part of the 2026 Pierce County Alzheimer’s Conference this past Saturday!

We were honored to have two members of the Alzheimer’s Association community share their knowledge and experiences with attendees.

🎤 Tinia Nelson presentation provided practical strategies to help caregivers build stronger, more meaningful connections with people living with dementia.

💜 Madeline Bastida, Washington State Board Member, closed out the day by sharing her personal experience navigating her father’s dementia journey.

We are grateful for opportunities like this to connect with professionals, caregivers, families, and community partners while sharing the resources and support available through the Alzheimer’s Association.

Thank you for helping bring our community together to learn, connect, and support those affected by dementia. 💜 by @alz_wa
