Alzheimer's Advocacy Day

Today at the State House, we recognized Alzheimer's Advocacy Day - a powerful reminder of the urgent need to raise awareness, support families, and push for policies that improve care and advance research.

I stand with advocates, caregivers, and those living with Alzheimer's in the fight for better resources, early detection, and a future without this devastating disease.
