Alzheimer's disease disproportionately impacts Black and Hispanic communities, with these groups facing higher risks of diagnosis and mortality due to factors like limited access to healthcare and higher rates of related health conditions.
This week's featured article provides an overview of Alzheimer's symptoms, stages, and available treatments, emphasizing the importance of awareness and early intervention in managing the disease and supporting affected families.
Make it a great week!
