The 2019 Alzheimer’s Webinar Series aims to inform the nationwide aging and social services community of current Alzheimer’s and brain health information as well as resources available to families impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementia diseases. The first webinar in the series explores critical findings from the newly released 2019 Alzheimer’s Association Facts & Figures Report including current prevalence and impact on American families, risk factors, impact on caregivers, and national cost of care. This includes significant findings and attitudes toward annual cognitive assessment among seniors and primary care physicians. Participants will learn how to access tools and resources support families impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
