Thank you Governor Ron DeSantis for proclaiming June as Alzheimer’s and Brain Health Awareness Month in Florida and helping raise awareness about the importance of brain health, early detection, and support for individuals and families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. Together, we can continue promoting education, resources, and compassionate care for Florida’s older adults and caregivers.
