Thank you to our supporters, including Molina Healthcare, that make our conferences possible.

We're excited to expand our capacity for Community Day, allowing more individuals to learn, engage, and connect with other caregivers and local services! See below on how we're expanding access to the conference by partnering with satellite sites around the state.


Enjoy the conference without the travel
For the first time, the Brain Aging Conference - Community Day will simulcast to 14 locations across Illinois, giving caregivers a chance to hear presentations without traveling into Springfield.
Our thanks to our local organizations at each site, as well as the Governor’s Rural Affairs Council (GRAC) Health/Healthcare Committee for helping make this possible.
