he Alzheimer’s Association 2016 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report provides a platform for raising awareness of the Alzheimer’s crisis.
AADVC FY2016

In addition to providing overall data on the disease and its impact on the nation’s health care system, this year’s Facts and Figures report included a special section on the personal financial impact of Alzheimer's on care contributors. Specifically, this year’s special report found that care contributors make enormous personal and financial sacrifices which jeopardize their and their families’ financial security, as well as their access to basic needs and health care. The Chapter is grateful to long-time constituent and friend, Renee Packel—whose husband Art died with Alzheimer’s—for sharing her touching story of caregiving through financial difficulty. Renee’s story caught the interest of several local media outlets as well as the national news program, CBS Newspath.
