Please be a voice for those affected by Alzheimer’s and take the survey today!

The Alzheimer’s Association, Illinois Chapter Network along with several partners listed below, invite you to join us to participate in the second annual Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Survey. By participating in the annual survey you will provide greater understanding about the challenges faced by those living with dementia, their caregivers, and loved ones as well as help shape state policies addressing the critical needs of those impacted. This online survey, which takes only 10 minutes to complete, is live starting on Wednesday, April 16 and closes Friday, May 16.
The information we learn from the second annual survey will be presented at conferences, shared with the media, included in government testimony, presented by volunteer advocates to their elected officials, and used to highlight the challenges in dealing with Alzheimer’s disease in new ways. Last year, the survey analysis was used to inform recommendations in Illinois’ new Alzheimer’s Disease State Plan, presented in testimony to the Illinois House Human Services Committee, distributed to the public health community throughout Illinois by the Illinois Public Health Association, and shared with numerous agencies and organizations serving the aging population in our state.
Please share your experiences and views on the State of Illinois’ services and programs for those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The importance of your input cannot be overestimated.
Soon after the survey closes, you will be able to find the complete results by visiting the website for the Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Illinois Chapter, alz.org/Illinois. – See more at: http://www.alzheimers-illinois.org/survey/index.asp#sthash.ELlvyutg.dpuf
