2018 Pennsylvania Alzheimer's Advocacy Day
Join us for the 2018 Pennsylvania Alzheimer's Advocacy Day in Harrisburg. As an Alzheimer's advocate, you will have the opportunity to meet with
legislators and draw critical attention to the advancement of
Alzheimer's public policies.
Be a catalyst for change in the
Commonwealth and ensure that the needs of Pennsylvanians living with
Alzheimer's,
their family members and caregivers are addressed.
Did
you know that as many as 400,000 individuals are living with
Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder (ADRD) in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania?
Furthermore, Pennsylvania has the fourth
highest percentage of older population in the nation, with the incidence of Alzheimer’s
rising in lock step with the aging population.
Nationwide, every 65 seconds someone in the United States develops the
disease; 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and 16.1 million
Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.
Now
is the time for action! Now is the time that we need you to use your
voice in the fight against this disease.
At the 2018 Pennsylvania Alzheimer's Advocacy Day you
will be empowered to share your story with key state legislators and
ask for their support to make Pennsylvania a more dementia capable
state.
We hope you will join us! Register today!
