The seminar featured speakers from various health centers throughout Missouri. In total, 110 health care professionals from three states and nearly 50 cities attended. The virtual event allowed for a broader reach than previous in-person conferences. Pictured are Mariah Swinker, R.N., BSN; Crystal Lloyd, R.N.; and Julia Hudler, RT(R). Walk to End Alzheimer’s Lake Regional was proud to sponsor the 2020 Walk to End Alzheimer’s Disease on Oct. 25. Participants walked as individuals or small groups within their own communities and raised more than $11,000 for the care, support and research programs of the Alzheimer’s Association. Lake Regional also filled the Nichols Roundabout with pinwheel flowers in honor of employees who have a connection to the disease. Pictured, from left, are Makayla Heikkila, Kelli Waters, Alexander Miller and Stephanie Dehner.
