Williamsburg, VA Sept 8, 2022 – Amber Price, President of Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, joins the Alzheimer’s Association® as the Honorary Chair of the 2022 Williamsburg Walk to End Alzheimer’s®. 

“I am honored to be the Honorary Chair of the 2022 Williamsburg Walk to End Alzheimer’s. As the president of Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, I interact everyday with people who are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia” said Price.  “The Alzheimer’s Association provides many services to families that are currently living with Alzheimer’s, and has an office in Williamsburg. I’m excited to be a part of this event and to raise money and awareness for this great cause.”

The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research programs. On Walk day, participants will honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease with Promise Flowers during the poignant Promise Garden Ceremony – a moving display of hope to represent the personal reasons participants join together to fight Alzheimer’s.

The 2022 Williamsburg Walk to End Alzheimer’s will take place on October 22 in New Town. Nearly 700 people from the Greater Williamsburg area are expected to participate in this year’s event to raise awareness and funds to fight Alzheimer’s disease. The fundraising goal is $206,500.

More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease – the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Additionally, more than 16 million family members and friends provide care to people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
