It's Alzheimer Awareness Month

January is Alzheimer Awareness month and this year's theme is "See Me, Not My Illness." Executive Director Alison Denton says they want to erase the stigma attached to a diagnosis of dementia. A flag raising ceremony was held this morning at City Hall marking the awareness campaign and Alzheimer Society volunteer Bill Heibein says thankfully his friends and family treated him the same after his diagnosis 13 years ago.
