Today, we’re proud to spotlight Ronie Bunao, a community educator and member of the Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA) — one of our national partners — whose dedication to education and outreach is empowering Asian and Filipino families.

As a nurse, Ronie has seen how Alzheimer’s and other dementias can impact families living with the disease. “Through my work, I’ve cared for many patients with dementia and witnessed how it affects both them and their families,” Ronie shared. “It’s something that stays with you.”

These experiences are what fuel Ronie’s passion for volunteering as a community educator. By providing culturally sensitive information, Ronie helps ensure caregivers and families feel informed, supported and less alone.

Through our partnership with PNAA, Ronie and fellow nurse leaders are empowering healthcare professionals and caregivers to enhance awareness, promote early detection, highlight the importance of research and support those living with the disease.

To anyone considering volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Association, Ronie has a simple message: “Go for it! it’s a meaningful way to give back. You’ll help empower families, and truly make a difference.”

💜 This Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we celebrate Ronie, PNAA and all of the other dedicated volunteers who are providing support for communities impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementia.
