LEARN MORE & REGISTER

This conference is designed to help our community Release The Silence and RACE into Action on Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. It is geared towards caregivers, future caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Hear about the latest treatments, learn how to pay for care, and share your voice in breakout sessions with leaders in the industry. CHPV is grateful to our major institutional sponsor The SHARE Network and the Healthy Aging & Alzheimer's Research Care (HAARC) Center for supporting our participation in this event.

Local author and friend of CHPV Rosellen Brown spoke at our March 27 Lunch Gathering about finding love later in life. Rosellen invites you to contact her if you have an interesting story to tell about what she's calling a “late love” — any kind of meeting or experience occurring in your later years — to be made into fiction for a book she is completing. She is looking for experiences that she can use to spin new stories. You would not be identified or recognizable in the final product. She is simply looking for some intriguing situations to stimulate her own creations. Contact Rosellen at rosellen@rosellenbrown.com and visit her website at https://rosellenbrown.com/.

Please also mark your calendars. Rosellen will join the conversation at our July 10 Zoom Drop-In on "Sex and Relationships as We Age" hosted by board member Margaret Huyck.
