Latinos and African-Americans are 1 and half to twos
more likely to get Alzheimer's then the general white populations. Find out
more- make plans to attend.
How do we implement the Utah State Plan with its 5 overarching goals, 18
specific recommendations and 99 ambitious strategies? The Forum features a
panel, including Senator Karen Morgan and Dr. Norman Foster. Local and national
leaders of the Alzheimer's Association will be present, including a national
Alzheimer's Association policy leader from Washington DC, Matthew Baumgart.
Manuel Romero, a former member of the Utah State Plan Task Force will moderate
the panel. Questions form the audience will be addressed. Should Utah invest in
an outpatient gero-psychiatric telehealth system? Should dementia care training
for direct care workers be implemented? Should Utah initiate an endangered
persons advisory (an Amber Alert system for disoriented seniors)? How do
advocates engage legislators and others in a public-private partnership to
implement an action plan for nearly 50,000 persons with Alzheimer's disease or
a related dementia and their family members? Please join us to become a part of
the solution at this critical juncture.
Pay parking in the Student Union lot is suggested. This
is an open forum that will include attendance of University of Utah students.
See you Thursday!
