"Alzheimer’s isn’t a red or blue issue — it is purple. What unites us all is our shared vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia,” said Ashton Houghton, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Association, South Carolina Chapter. “It’s vitally important for our state lawmakers to hear from constituents in their own communities about the needs of families facing dementia. These conversations and relationships can spark widescale change to improve the lives of countless people across the Palmetto State.”
