LOUISIANA ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE TASK FORCE

PUBLIC HEARING

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2009

6pm—8pm

Alzheimer’s Association Greater New Orleans

2605 River Road in Jefferson

The purpose of this event is to receive input from people with

Alzheimer’s and their family members, as the Task Force prepares
to submit a plan and recommendations to the State Legislature
concerning the current and future impact of Alzheimer’s disease.

It is crucial for the people of Greater New Orleans to identify the

services and programs needed in the community to best
care for people with Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s has risen 14% in Louisiana; the demands of the disease

are expensive and, oftentimes, overwhelming. Written comments can
be submitted to the Alzheimer’s Association office at 2605 River Road,
New Orleans, Louisiana 70121, through August 13, 2009.

Regional Director Elena Lacour is available to answer any questions

about this meeting or Alzheimer’s disease; she can be reached at
504-849-9081 or via email at elena.lacour@alz.org.
