Catholic Health Services proudly announced that it will join the Alzheimer’s Association® Southeast Florida Chapter as Presenting Sponsor in the 2018 Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Miami-Dade. The walk in Museum Park, downtown Miami on Saturday November 3rd, draws thousands of participants from throughout the community, all committed to finding the cure and ending the scourge of this awful disease.
“As CHS is a leading provider of post-acute care and senior care services, we recognize firsthand the impact this awful disease has on the individual and the multi-layered burden it places on the family and caregivers. About 67% of persons with Alzheimer’s/dementia spend their final days in a nursing home and over 50% of residents in assisted living facilities or nursing homes suffer from the disease. These people are in our lives every day. It is in our Mission to care for and support them, their families, their caregivers and our staff who not only care for these people at work, but many at home in their own families as well.” said Joe Catania, President and CEO of Catholic Health Services. “The Alzheimer’s Association provides valuable support services, while also supporting critically need research. We are fully committed to support the Alzheimer’s Association.”
