Light the Way: Walking Through Dementia Together

Town Hall Tour

A statewide conversation on clarity, resources, and hope.

March-November 2026

More than 60,000 Iowans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and thousands more families are supporting someone they love. The path can feel confusing, overwhelming, and isolating. This Town Hall Tour exists to change that.
