April 27, 2020 - Advisory Council Meeting

CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19.

We made the difficult decision to cancel the April 27 meeting of the Advisory Council on Alzheimer’s Research, Care, and Services. We were hopeful that conditions would improve by late April, but wanted to give our members and community the time and space to focus on rapidly shifting responsibilities related to COVID-19. As a group charged with supporting one of the most vulnerable populations, it is our responsibility to put their care and well-being first.

We planned to hold the July meeting as scheduled. Please take care of yourself and your family.
