Letter from Kelly McGraw

Conference Scheduled

In New York State, more than 656,000 people provide unpaid care to loved ones living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. As the disease progresses, the emotional and physical toll on caregivers increases—often affecting their own health and well-being.

To offer education and support, the Alzheimer’s Association Northeastern New York Chapter is hosting a free Caregiver Conference on Tuesday, September 9 at The Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown. This full-day event will bring together local experts and fellow caregivers to share practical advice, resources, and encouragement.
