A central registry of people with Alzheimer
Disease and other dementias is now in place through the Alzheimer
Society of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The registry is the first of its kind in
Canada and will allow the Alzheimer Society to improve the delivery
of its services to the individuals throughout the province who are
affected by Alzheimer Disease, their families, caregivers and
professionals. The Society will be able to increase its role in
advocacy and budgetary planning.
Confidentiality is of the utmost
importance, and confidentiality policies and procedures related to
the registry are in force. Upon registration, individuals are
informed of the vital role that confidentiality plays in ensuring
the protection of registrant information.
Participants in the registry are recruited
through various promotional efforts of the Alzheimer Society. The
registry is based on a voluntary community-based model and is free
of charge.
Brochures and posters to promote the
registry are available by contacting the Society's office in St.
John's. For more information on the registry, contact registry
coordinator Karen Osborne at 709-576-0608 or 1-877-776-0608.
The Alzheimer Society of Newfoundland and
Labrador is a charitable organization that exists to support the
search for the cause and cure of Alzheimer Disease, its diagnosis,
treatment and cure. It also exists to raise public awareness of the
personal and social impact of the disease and to promote the
provision of support to families and caregivers in Newfoundland and
Labrador.
