The Alzheimer's Association® Honors Colorado Caregivers During National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month
Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 12, 2014 -- In 1983, President Ronald Reagan, who was later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, designated November as National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. President Bill Clinton named the week of Thanksgiving as a time to honor caregivers in 1997. As an organization founded by caregivers, the Alzheimer’s Association applauds caregivers and hopes to make their efforts a little easier year round with innovative resources that have been designed specifically with families in mind.
Family caregivers of people with memory loss, long-term care & healthcare providers, & people living with early stage memory loss should attend Strategies for Alzheimer's, Dementia, & Memory Loss from 7:30-4:30 on November 18 at the Marriott Tech Center. Registration for family caregivers & people with dementia for Early Stage Forum is $59 and includes lunch, parking and conference materials.
