Listen "Alzheimer’s Disease: Medical Advances and the Importance of a Compassionate Approach"
Episode Synopsis
Every minute, a person in the United States is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, a brain disease that slowly destroys memory and other mental functions. While some risk factors, such as a head injury or genes, may not be completely avoidable, other more controllable factors may impact whether you develop Alzheimer’s. Alan Lerner, MD, Director of the Brain Health and Memory Center at University Hospitals, shares promising research in this area and gives a humanistic perspective on a disease that’s been called The Long Goodbye.
