Attorney Samantha Sprague was a featured presenter at the 3rd Annual SMG Health, Pop-Up Health Fair in Portage, MI. Samantha is the lead attorney at the Carrier Law Portage office. She shared her expertise on Estate Planning and the need to have Powers of Attorney. The Health Fair is an opportunity for the community to learn about area businesses and the services they offer the aging population.
Joy Spahn, Regional Director – Alzheimer’s Association and Chris Simons, Director, Dementia & Life Enrichment, Clark Retirement Communities, presented at Carrier Law, “Is it Dementia or just Normal Aging?” They discussed the differences in age-related memory impairment and dementia, the importance of social engagement and activity, tips for communication, and more.
Both presenters provided valuable examples and suggestions based on their years of expertise and experience.

The fight to end Alzheimer’s is a cause particularly dear to Carrier Law. We’ve seen firsthand the devastating effects of this disease, and we’re dedicated to doing our part to get closer to a cure.
Every September, we participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s as the “Carrier’s Calvary” team. Each year, we raise the fundraising bar to a new goal, and so far, we’ve hit or surpassed our goal every year!
