From Awareness to Action: Changing Dementia Care Through Early Detection and Brain Health Plans  Lori La Bey talks with Dr. Anna Chodos, the Executive Director of Dementia Care Aware, an organization dedicated to supporting primary care to improve dementia detection and care, and a Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine at Zuckerberg San Francisco General and the Division of Geriatrics at UCSF. Her clinical work is in outpatient specialty care in geriatrics and dementia care, and her academic work is focused on understanding the unmet needs of older adults who are seen in primary care in the safety net, especially those who are living with dementia.  Learn: Why is it important to discuss cognitive health with doctors early? How can people start this conversation with their doctors? What are some key factors that can reduce the risk of dementia? What are some ways people can offer support to loved ones with dementia? How can doctors improve elder care by educating families about dementia care? Are there ways a family can communicate with the doctor of their loved one? Should families share resources they find helpful with their doctors, and if so, why?   Alzheimer's Speaks Blog https://alzheimersspeaks.com/learn-how-to-help-change-dementia-care-through-awareness-early-detection-and-brain-health-plans-are-the-key/   Watch the Video Interview Below https://youtu.be/-UM0bvVLumc   Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-awareness-to-action-changing-dementia-care-through/id986940432?i=1000715237668   Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/6F4AVkiL72aOwG5FaUz0Ge   Other Podcasts https://pod.link/986940432   Dementia Map https://dementiamap.com/events/#!event/2025/7/1/from-awareness-to-action-changing-dementia-care-through-early-detection-and-brain-health-plans    Contact Dementia Care Aware Website https://www.dementiacareaware.org/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/dementiacareaware/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DementiaCareAware   Contact Lori La Bey with questions or branding needs at https://www.alzheimersspeaks.com/ Alzheimer's Speaks Radio - Shifting dementia care from crisis to comfort around the world one episode at a time by raising all voices and delivering sound news, not just sound bites, since 2011.
