Providence Place is once again participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® at Target Field on Saturday September 28th,  because we are committed to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. We hope to one day see Alzheimer’s first survivor! Register online to join our team at http://act.alz.org/goto/provplace.
