Banner Health raises $40 million for Alzheimer’s research, care
PHOENIX — After five years of fundraising, Banner Health has met its goal of collecting $40 million in donations for its Alzheimer’s care facility.
About 3,000 individuals and companies contributed to the campaign, which launched in 2011, and proceeds will go directly toward the Phoenix-based Banner Alzheimer’s Institute.
Two-thirds of the donations will fund preventative research of the disease and the remaining third will be directed toward improving treatment for patients already suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Banner Health, which acquired Banner Casa Grande Medical Center in 2014, announced in a press release that the $40 million will help the nonprofit implement a new model of care for treating Alzheimer’s disease.

A laudable goal and let's hope that they can find a way to help improve the lives of those that suffer from Alzheimer's. It's a tough disease not only for the patient, but for their caregivers also.
