Council to Jointly Sponsor Nashua, NH News Conference

The National Health Council, in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association, will sponsor a news conference on September 6, 2007 in Nashua, New Hampshire.

People and families affected by disease and/or disability are strongly encouraged to attend and show their support (register here).

A statement signed by 50 CEOs of the nation's leading voluntary health associations will be released at the event. The statement highlights the lack of effective coverage for millions of Americans and seeks to educate Presidential candidates about the need for specific solutions to the problem. The event will also feature patients' personal stories about their inability to obtain effective and affordable health and long-term care coverage.

The event will take place in the Theater of the Nashua Public Library located at 2 Court Street in Nashua, New Hampshire. The starting time for the event is 9:30am. Directions to the library are also included at the end of this message.

A brief "town hall" meeting will take place at the end of the news conference at approximately 10:30am. Here, people and families affected by disease and/or disability, can learn how to become more involved in this initiative.
