About Us
Alzheimer├óÔé¼Ôäós Buddies at Kansas State University is an undergraduate student organization that seeks to improve the lives of those living with Alzheimer├óÔé¼Ôäós Disease in local institutional settings and strives to increase Alzheimer├óÔé¼Ôäós awareness in the community. The long-term project consists of weekly meetings between K-State students paired with Alzheimer├óÔé¼Ôäós patients in a local facility. Student volunteers visit their buddy for one hour per week throughout the academic school year with the goal of developing a one-on-one relationship with their buddy to help to reduce the loneliness that is rampant for those living with Alzheimer├óÔé¼Ôäós disease in institutional settings. Our collective goal is to spread awareness for Alzheimer├óÔé¼Ôäós disease and to make a difference in the Alzheimer├óÔé¼Ôäós community.
