SAGE's Health Fair to Include Information About Alzheimer's Disease

There isn't a lot of information or support for older adults with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities who are dealing with Alzheimer's disease. That's why I was so pleased to learn that SAGE (Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Elders) is including information about Alzheimer's at its 30th Anniversary Celebration and Senior Health Fair.

The event will take place from 2 - 5 PM on Thursday, May 22, 2008 at the LGBT Community Center (208 West 13th Street) in New York City. The Alzheimer's Association will be there to provide information about the early warning signs of Alzheimer's and steps to finding and accessing health and support services. Information about other diseases that affect brain health such as diabetes, heart disease, and HIV will also be available.

I applaud SAGE, the Alzheimer's Association, and the other participating organizations for offering such a valuable event.
