AHAF and Partners Introduce Alzheimer's Disease TweetChat
The American Health Assistance Foundation (AHAF) has joined forces with members of USAgainstAlzheimer's, the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, SeniorsforLiving.com, and the Crisis Prevention Institute to create #talkalz, a new TweetChat aimed at providing information and advice about Alzheimer's disease.
The organizations who partnered to create #talkalz are committed to helping people affected by the Alzheimer’s epidemic, especially those living with the disease, family members, caregivers, and other loved ones.
A primary goal of #talkalz is to team up with other Alzheimer’s groups, caregiving institutions, healthcare providers, lawmakers, pharmaceutical companies, researchers, and anyone who has something constructive to add to the Alzheimer’s dialogue. People looking to share information or just to learn are encouraged to join, ask questions, and add to the conversation.
TweetChat participants must first join Twitter by signing up for an account. Then type #talkalz into Twitter’s search bar. The #talkalz chat will occur on Twitter every 2nd Tuesday at 12:00 noon Eastern time.
