Background on Town Hall meetings
The Alzheimer's Association is holding a series of live Town Hall meetings for people diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's.

Participants will have the chance to voice their opinion on a variety of topics and share their experiences living with the disease. As a result, the true voice of those affected by Alzheimer’s will be gathered, offering needed insight into what it is like to have dementia.

The perspectives raised in these meetings and on this Web site will help the Alzheimer's Association learn how to best serve people living with early-stage Alzheimer's.
