Parkway Pavilion Participates in Alzheimer's Walk

Team Parkway Pavilion once again participated in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s on September 9. Over 35 walkers comprised of staff, family and friends of those affected by Alzheimer’s raised over $2,400. The Enfield Town Green was the location for this year’s Walk.

Tee Shirts worn by the team were designed by Deb Baker, Rehabilitation Nurse at Parkway Pavilion. Suzanne Moriarty was chairperson.

The Alzheimer’s Association is a primary source of information and support to those dealing with Alzheimer’s or dementia. According the Alzheimer’s Association website, Alzheimer’s is the 6^th leading cause of death in the United States and one in ten people age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s dementia. Funds raised by the Walk are critical for ongoing support, programs and research.
