This week, Ed and Pastor Cris had the privilege of traveling with Alzheimer’s Community Care to advocate for Alzheimer’s care in Florida.

This is ACC message.

The 2025 Advocacy Trip to Tallahassee was amazing!
We had 22 advocates meet with legislators to educate on the needs of patients and caregivers affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Our caregivers shared stories from their journey and imparted how critical dementia-specific services are for families. They also explained the impact Alzheimer’s Community Care has had to help them care for their loved ones.

Here is Pastor Cris’ team. Sharon is from Ft. Pierce, and her father was in one of the ACC centers for five years. This enabled her to work during this time.

The other two are from Messiah Tampa. Hopefully, they will open ACC’s newest center in the next year. Yes, the tall guy is Pastor Cris’ friend Mark.

Ed was stationed at a table near the entrance of the capital, where he met individuals arriving for business. He also had the chance to engage with elected officials and share his story.
