Alzheimer's Association Long Island fosters, promotes and strengthens its relationships with legislators and other government officials.

We identify and establish coalitions appropriate to achieve specific Association priorities

We disseminate timely information from national and state coalitions/councils, where appropriate, on emerging or pressing public policy issues to board members, chapter advocates, support groups and others interested in advocacy.

We also initiate for legislation within the state.

Alzheimer's Association Long Island has been able to increase its vigilance regarding federal, state and local public policies and legislation impacting Alzheimer's patients and families through membership in the New York State Coalition of Alzheimer Association Chapters. The Coalition's Public Policy Analyst ensures that Alzheimer's Communities have an effective voice in New York State.
