Tuesday marked one of our most successful trips to Albany ever. The Central New York Chapter joined its sister chapters from throughout the state, forming a group of nearly 200 strong. Our team from Central New York started early, joining a bus carrying our friends from the Western New York Chapter.

Alzheimer’s Association staff, people with the disease and Alzheimer’s caregivers all made pleas to legislators from throughout New York State to preserve funding for our programs and advance a Silver Alert Bill–an Amber Alert-like system to assist the return of people with Alzheimer’s disease who wander from home.
