Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most critical public health issues in America. This week Dana Marie Kennedy, the Arizona State Director of AARP, joins the conversation to share her perspective and how we can be encouraged to speak up, share our story, and advocate for our loved ones and ourselves. She talks about efforts she’s seen come to fruition at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as ongoing efforts. Dana reminds us that advocacy is non-partisan - elected officials are here to serve us and make efforts toward initiatives that are important to their constituents.
