"New Hampshire, perhaps more than almost any other state, needs to prepare for the devastation that Alzheimer’s disease poses for our families, our health care facilities and our communities.

After caring for my late mother, Susan McLane, as she struggled with Alzheimer’s, I know all too well the challenges of this disease. Its physical toll is matched only by the emotional and financial toll that Alzheimer’s takes on individuals suffering from the disease and their loved ones." 

By Rep. Annie Kuster for The Concord Monitor
