A group of caregivers, board members and staff from Alzheimer’s Community Care traveled from West Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast to Tallahassee for all-day meetings on Nov. 4 with more than 150 state senators, representatives and staff members at the state capitol. The sixth annual Advocacy Trip for the leading nonprofit organization was designed to further educate state officials on the critical services and resources provided by Alzheimer’s Community Care, plus the challenges that client families face every day, and to encourage elected officials to continue to help finance those efforts. Alzheimer’s Community Care is the largest provider of community-based, dementia-specific services in Florida. The organization serves more than 4,000 individuals each month in Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties. To learn more, call (561) 683-2700 or visit www.alzcare.org.
