In her role as an Ambassador, Rogers works with her Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02) by making visits to Kelly’s office, informing the representative and others about key Alzheimer’s legislation and bringing awareness to issues affecting both individuals with the disease as well as caregivers. Rogers was recently named Constituent of the Week by Kelly’s office for her dedication in community service.
Rogers’ was a long-time caregiver to her late husband, Amos. She is also a support group facilitator, helping others who are wrestling with the day-to-day challenges of caring for someone with the illness.
“A family caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease travels a road filled with challenges that can cause major damage to themselves as well as their loved one,” Rogers said. “The Ambassador role at the Alzheimer’s Association allows me to educate those who can eliminate the controllable hazards from the world of Alzheimer’s and dementia.”
The Greater Illinois Chapter thanks Rogers for her wonderful work in advancing Alzheimer’s public policy.
