NARFE April 2024
The Alzheimer's Impact Movement (AIM) Advocacy Forum, the nation's premier Alzheimer's disease advocacy event, took place on April 7-9 in Washington, D.C. Volunteer advocates from across the country came together to lift their voices. They rallied for bipartisan support from Congress to increase investment in research, enhance care and improve support for people living with the disease. Thank you, NARFE members, for the important role your support plays in this and in all our efforts to advance Alzheimer's research and advocacy. You continue to demonstrate your dedication to fighting this disease, and the Alzheimer's Association looks forward to continuing our work together to end Alzheimer's.
