Loma Linda University Health will host a Community Conversation on the topic of Alzheimer’s on Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 5:30 p.m. in the Centennial Complex’s Damazo Amphitheater.
During the event, the co-directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Health and co-authors of The Alzheimer’s Solution will engage with leaders from a cross-section of public and non-profit organizations and will address the following questions:
- How will society support the number of cases to arise in the coming months and years?
- What do we need to know to reduce brain risk at an individual level?
- How do we access resources that are not systematically connected?
Alzheimer’s is one of the most feared diseases among men and women over the age of 65 and is expected to double by the year 2050, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Though many doctors say the degenerative disease is incurable, neurologists Ayesha and Dean Sherzai believe 90 percent of Alzheimer’s cases can be prevented through lifestyle factors.
Team Sherzai has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, Dr. OZ, and USA Today, among others.
