The Eleventh Annual Stein Lecture

The Eleventh Annual Stein Lecture on Alzheimer’s disease is sponsored by the Marion Stein Endowment Fund For Specialized Training, Services and Programs For Residents with Alzheimer’s disease. The Endowment Fund was established with a major gift from the late Mrs. Alfred Slaner as a tribute to the late Marion Stein, an esteemed Sarah Neuman Trustee.

In addition to an annual lecture, the Fund provides for staff training, creation of an Alzheimer’s disease library and resource center, support groups for staff and families, as well as therapeutic recreation programs tailored to the specific needs of residents in Sarah Neuman’s Special Care Unit.
