“The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America sends our prayers and support to Wendy Williams and her family on the announcement of her diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and primary progressive aphasia. Her decision to publicly disclose her diagnosis will help raise awareness, reduce stigma, and show support for the many others living with dementia-related illnesses. We are grateful for her courage, transparency, and efforts to heightening understanding and compassion for all those living with a form of dementia.”
- Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., President and CEO, Alzheimer’s Foundation of America
