Episode Synopsis

More than 460,000 Texans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and over a million family members are stepping up as unpaid caregivers. This November, voters will decide on Proposition 14, which would dedicate $3 billion to create the largest state-funded Alzheimer’s and dementia research program in the nation.

Joining us on Ask the Expert is Dr. Joanne Pike, President and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association, to talk about what this measure could mean for families here in Texas and across the country.
