5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease and the risks are even higher among African Americans and other minorities. RM @SenatorTimScott recognizes the need for increased awareness, but also the need for effective and innovative therapies to treat it. #ENDALZ

Remember: thoughts aren’t facts. Your thoughts and feelings are valid, but they aren’t always reality. Often times we can be our own worst enemies – other people are seeing us in a much nicer light than how we see ourselves.

When people hear the word Alzheimer's, they often think of the late stages. But those with early stage dementia are highly capable individuals who are adjusting to major life changes. We love this article featuring their important perspectives. 💜#ENDALZ beingpatient.com/dementia-stigm…

“When you’ve only got 2% of Blacks in a clinical trial, and they are 13% of the population, and about 20% of people with Alzheimer’s, it’s not acceptable.” @SMonroe2020 is right. The racial disparities in #Alzheimers research are not acceptable: everydayhealth.com/alzheimers-dis…
