The province is investing $1 million that allows the Alzheimer Society of B.C. to expand three key programs to better support dementia patients and their families, Health Services Minister Kevin Falcon announced Tuesday, which was World Alzheimer's Day.
The day helps raise awareness about the disease and recognizes the continued need for support, education and research, said Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, on behalf of Falcon.
"I am proud that we are helping to support the more than 70,000 British Columbians currently living with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia," said Reid.
