Alzheimer's Association Town Hall meeting

Alzheimer’s Association Town Hall Planned

Speak up for the needs and rights of people with Alzheimer's and their families, and help persuade Congress to address those needs through legislative action

On August 12, at the Renton Senior Activity Center , from 1:30PM to 3:30, the Alzheimer’s Association, Western and Central Washington State Chapter will hold a town hall meetings to highlight—and solicit feedback on—public policy initiatives, including the National Alzheimer’s Plan, an Alzheimer’s Disease Plan for Washington State, and Voices for Better Health in Washington State , a new initiative to improve health care for “dual eligibles”, older and disabled Washingtonians who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid.  

The town hall will include a panel reflecting the breadth and depth of the Alzheimer’s experience.  Federal, state, and local elected officials and/or staff are welcome to participate. The Alzheimer’s Association’s objective is to educate the public, solicit input, and provide an opportunity for the public to interact with elected leaders.  All public input will be recorded and used to inform the Association’s work in advancing public policy priorities to better meet the needs of the individuals, families, and communities they serve.  For more information visit: http://www.alzwa.org/cms/townhalls/
