Maine Points: The Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter

Danny speaks with Jill Carney Director of Public Policy at the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter. She is hosting the Maine State Advocacy Day on Tuesday, February 6th at the State House in Augusta.

The Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter serves the entire state and is here to help. We provide education and support to all those facing Alzheimer’s and other dementias including those living with the disease, caregivers, families, and health care professionals. We advocate for the needs and rights of those facing dementia. We work to advance critical research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.

Currently, more than 29,000 people in Maine are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and over 46,000 caregivers provide 68,000,000 hours in unpaid care.
