I would like to acknowledge Joann Carpana for her exceptional service to the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter.

Joann has been an integral part of the chapter by volunteering in the office, assisting at events, and with the Time Away Respite Program that provides respite grants to caregivers. In addition, she has served for two years as chair for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Orange/Sullivan County. Her dedication, knowledge, warm spirit and smile have been huge assets for us, and we are so grateful for all she has done and continues to do for us.

Without volunteers like Joann, we would not be able to accomplish our mission of raising funds and awareness to end Alzheimer’s and all dementia. We are so grateful for all that our volunteers like Joann do to advance our case.
