A coalition of more than 200 Wisconsin residents gathered at the State Capitol in Madison, on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 for the Alzheimer’s Association Wisconsin’s annual Advocacy Day, featuring remarks from Governor Tony Evers and First Lady Kathy Evers and a bipartisan legislative panel discussing opportunities to strengthen support. Among the participants was a dedicated group from Milwaukee who traveled to Madison to meet with legislators and share how Alzheimer’s and other dementias affect families in their community.
The focus of the day’s advocacy was urging lawmakers to support legislation requiring dementia-specific training for staff in memory care facilities, an effort aimed at improving safety, quality of care, and dignity for residents across the state.
The Alzheimer’s Association Wisconsin Chapter conducts this annual event to raise awareness and impact state legislation.
