September 18 was Paint it Purple Day across the state. Boswell Regional Center participated in Paint it Purple by decorating the BRC entrance and encouraging people to wear purple.
Alzheimer’s disease causes brain changes that gradually get worse. It causes people to progressively lose their intellectual and social skills. The losses of these skills are severe enough to interfere with day to day life. It is a devastating disease. 
In an effort to educate the public, Kathy Van Cleave, Director of the Department of Mental Health’s Division of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias, asked Boswell Regional Center to assist her in raising awareness for those who have been stricken with the disease. The front gates were draped with a balloon arch over the BRC rock. Purple balloon columns lined the entrance, and the campus street poles were wrapped with purple ribbon.
