Access Home Care and Hospice joined Emeritus Estates Senior Living in North Ogden, Utah to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer's disease. Emeritus set up a car show and Access jumped on the opportunity to participate with a car of our own - a 1969 Ford Mustang. About 30 cars entered the show and it was considered a big success by all who attended.
While diseases like stroke, prostate cancer, breast cancer, HIV and heart disease have declined between 2000-2006 in the United States, Alzheimer's has actually increased by 46%* in that same time frame. Access was honored to partner with Emeritus and assist in raising funds and awareness for the disease. For more information on Emeritus Estates Senior Living, go here.

A big thank you to Nikki (Hospice Director) and Ashley (Area Account Manager) in the Ogden office for putting this together. It's always fun to endorse a worthy cause while cruising in a classic Mustang!
