We need you! Do you want to make a difference in the community? Do you enjoy being out at events in the community, speaking to people and increasing awareness of a great cause? Alzheimer’s disease is a growing public health epidemic as the population ages, with more than 40,000 people in the Hudson Valley alone. Age is the number one risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease.
