Armonk Members Of Alzheimer's Association Meet With Lowey

Armonk residents Jane and Andy Cahn were  Alzheimer's Association representatives who discussed the importance of increased Alzheimer’s research and education, according to a press release. 

“Increased federal funding for Alzheimer’s disease research and education is critical. Alzheimer’s affects millions of Americans and their families,” said Lowey, (D-Westchester) in the release. “We must continue to help scientists develop innovative ways to prevent and treat the disease. As our population ages, medical advances can improve the quality of life for those suffering and eventually cure Alzheimer’s.”

The Alzheimer’s Association is a volunteer health organization that supports and advocates on behalf of those affected by Alzheimer’s. 

“I think the Cahns and all the Alzheimer’s Association volunteers for their work to help increase awareness of Alzheimer’s and to advocate for research and caregiver support,” said Lowey in the release. “The voices of all Americans are vital to make progress on the issues that matter most to our families.”

Lowey is the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee and a longtime member of the Labor, Health, and Human Services Subcommittee that funds biomedical research and that National Institutes of Health.
