ACI’s Alzheimer’s Centers Of Excellence
Given the increasing number of hospitals who study Alzheimer’s, several prominent organizations have been formed to provide a forum to all physicians and educators. With a wealth of medicines and medical treatments, it is one of the most important, albeit complex, clinical areas for hospitals and health systems to manage. With the promise of long-term inpatient care the opportunity for new developments and growth is always present. Also, Hospital and physician leaders are increasingly researching while planning and funding initiatives to develop and expand the Alzheimer’s Centers within their organizations.
Due to the recent advances in technology, physicians and healthcare facilities are starting to see the benefits of defining themselves as centers of excellence, and are willing to invest in comprehensive Alzheimer’s programs. It is imperative for hospitals to develop the planning and investment strategy to succeed in this highly competitive field, and capture the consumer market due to an increasing number of baby-boomers and the expanding nature this field brings.
Combined with an aging baby-boom population which brings increased patient volumes and favorable reimbursement, it is imperative for these hospitals to develop the planning and investment strategy they need to succeed in this highly competitive field while also capturing the consumer market. This two-day conference will focus on how hospitals can add, expand and update their Alzheimer’s Programs and Services. It will also strive to integrate various sub-specialties, address future trends, explain strategic opportunities, and address current challenges most healthcare executives are facing.
Join us September 12-14, 2012 in Tampa, Florida in a gathering of administrative and medical leaders all striving to advance their Alzheimer’s service lines.

Senior Helpers
Senior Helpers was founded by Tony Bonacuse with the help of Peter Ross after their firsthand experience in caring for their respective family members. From their experience, Tony and Peter saw a huge gap that was not being filled properly by the other companies providing care for the elderly in the market. In dealing with these other caregivers, they found that either they couldn’t get caregivers to answer their inquiries or that the companies that would respond left something to be desired in their level of professionalism. It was clear to them that someone needed to address these deficiencies – the result being Senior Helpers.
