Peoria Legislative Breakfast

The Central Illinois Chapter Alzheimer's Association shared it 2010 Public Policy Priorities at its 2010 Legislative Breakfast January 6. Rep. David Leitch and Rep. Donald Moffitt were in attendance as well as over 30 community residents who attended the 2-hour program. As the growing Alzheimer population continues to strain an already fragile healthcare system, the Chapter shared information with our legislators about the urgent need for adequate care and services, and the need to move the State’s Alzheimer’s Disease Plan forward.
