Alzheimer's Resource Alaska, a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, unveiled an updated logo in late August.
The new logo, which now features the iconic forget-me-not flower, the official state flower of Alaska, embodies remembrance, community, and Alaska roots and is a symbol of memory, love, and care. This reflects Alzheimer's Resource's mission of serving all Alaskans facing the challenges of Alzheimer's and related dementias. This visual transformation represents more than just a design update; it is a renewed commitment to Alaskans, by Alaskans.
"For over 40 years, we have been Alaskans serving Alaskans," said Lisa Sauder, CEO, Alzheimer's Resource Alaska. "Every dollar raised here stays here, and every service we provide is grounded in the unique needs of our state's communities. Our new logo reinforces that identity and our enduring promise to the people we serve."
In addition to the new logo, Care Coordination Resource of Alaska (CCRA), a program of Alzheimer's Resource of Alaska, has also received a logo refresh to complement the organization's updated visual identity. CCRA will continue to provide essential care coordination services to Alaskans with Medicaid waivers, ensuring that individuals across the state have access to the resources and support they need as they navigate the challenges of Alzheimer's and dementia.
While the visual identity has changed, Alzheimer's Resource of Alaska remains the same trusted organization that provides vital services across the state. This update aligns with the organization's expanding vision, including the launch of a new outreach department and an ongoing focus on education and risk reduction.
"New logo, same heart," said Kay Papakristo, Alzheimer Resource's outreach director. "We're simply refreshed to reflect our commitment to meeting the growing needs of Alaskans and the full scope of the work we're doing today with a greater focus on brain health and reducing the risk of dementia through early intervention."
Alzheimer's Resource of Alaska has been serving the state for 41 years, providing education, support, and services to individuals and families impacted by Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other disabilities related to aging. The nonprofit has offices and outreach across the state.
