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.
