Alzheimer’s

Warren County residents will join the world’s largest event dedicated to Alzheimer’s care, support, and research, according to Warren Area Committee Member Linda Knapp. “The Alzheimer’s Association draws hundreds of walkers and teams to the event each fall and it is a pivotal event to spread community awareness and concern for Alzheimer’s disease,” Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter Walk Manager Amy Ritzel said. “We are looking forward to gathering with local families on Walk day who have been impacted by the disease, as we work together to inspire hope in the fight for a cure and move closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.”
