Vermont Advocacy Day
Join us for Alzheimer's Advocacy Day on April 9th to raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias. Throughout the day we will build relationships with our Vermont State Legislators, get the latest updates on bills that support Vermonters living with dementia and their family caregivers, and build community with fellow advocates. Join us for all or even part of the day, we would love to have you help us turn Montpelier purple! Register hereVermont public health data

Vermont policy priorities
Working with the Alzheimer's Impact Movement (AIM), a separately incorporated advocacy affiliate, the Alzheimer’s Association and the Vermont Chapter fight for critical research, prevention and care initiatives at the federal and state levels.

State Alzheimer's disease plans create the infrastructure and accountability necessary to confront the sweeping economic and social impact of this disease. By bringing together essential stakeholders — such as state agency officials, legislators, care providers, family caregivers, and people with Alzheimer's — the state planning process is able to identify critical issues, explore solutions, and construct a roadmap to guide a state's development into a dementia-capable state.

Vermont’s Governor’s Commission on Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders was established in 1991 to provide leadership on public health policy and coordination to identify and address the needs of those with Alzheimer’s and related disorders, and their caregivers and families.
