We Appreciate Your Help

The Michigan Senate is positioned to cut nearly $400,000 for Alzheimer’s programs from the State budget. This will severely impact the programs and services we now offer here in northern Michigan.


Senator Tony Stamas, District 36, and Representative Andy Newmann, District 106, are part of the decision making process in Lansing. They can influence the outcome of the nearly $400,000 budget line items.


Please call them today with this short message: “Do not cut programs for individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease and their families. Keep the Healthy Michigan Fund and the Older Adult Initiative line items in the Department of Community Health budget.” Most important, personalize the message with a short message about how Alzheimer’s Disease has affected you and your family.


Those living in Otsego, Montmorency, Alpena, Crawford, Oscoda, Alcona, Ogemaw, Iosco, Gladwin and Midland counties, please contact Senator Stamas at 866.305.2136; fax at 517.373.2678 or write him at:
