MY MISSIONS:

To: help improve our eldercare laws; educate healthcare professionals how to better help the families they work with; provide solutions and hope to families; encourage funding for Alzheimer's and Breast Cancer research—and bring awareness to the importance of early diagnosis; expose elder abuse, neglect and exploitation; encourage long-term care insurance/planning; bring attention to funding needs for Adult Day Services—which saved my parents' lives as well as my own. I've testified before the Assistant Secretary on Aging and am featured in an upcoming documentary on the subject.
