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!
