November 2, 2026Categories: Events
Saint Mary’s Hospital joined nearly 2,000 landmarks and institutions around the world by lighting up in teal for National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. This initiative, led by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA), is part of the annual “Light the World in Teal” campaign.
Saint Mary's Hospital illuminated with teal lights to honor Alzheimer's Awareness.
Teal is the official color of Alzheimer’s awareness and Saint Mary’s proudly stands in solidarity with the more than 6 million Americans and their families affected by the disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “The number of people living with Alzheimer's is projected to double from 6.9 million in 2020 to nearly 14 million people by 2060.”
“Lighting our hospital in teal is more than a symbolic gesture. It reflects our commitment to the patients, families and caregivers affected by Alzheimer’s disease,” said Robert Roose, MD, MPH, President of Acute Care, Trinity Health Of New England. “Together, through awareness, compassion and support, we can help reduce stigma, encourage early intervention and improve the lives of those living with this disease. We are honored to participate in this global movement.”
