Alzheimer's Association - NCNN

We had a wildly impactful Community Leaders Summit in Anaheim this past week. So much learning, sharing and celebrating successes of our Northern California chapter. Kudos to our board members and volunteers who represented.

Yesterday, we hosted our Brain Health Roundtable with @repbera . Thank you Rep. Bera for leading an important conversation and for challenging us to come together as one community to reimagine the future of dementia care. Thank you, too, to our nine partner organizations and engaged volunteers. #ENDALZ

Americans say brain health is a top priority as they age, ranking it as important as — or more important than — physical health. Yet a major gap remains between awareness and action. Learn more and share the facts:. #AlzheimersInAmerica #EndALZ

For Regina Shih, Ph.D., dementia is both personal and professional. Her grandmother lived with vascular dementia, a diagnosis that changed the dynamics of her family. “Before her diagnosis, she was the vibrant and joyful matriarch of our large family.” That experience, paired with years of scientific training, shaped Regina’s commitment to understanding dementia not only as a disease, but also as a public health challenge influenced by social, behavioral and environmental factors. Today she is a researcher and Professor of Epidemiology at the Emory University Rollins School of Public Health. Her research focuses on the environmental risk factors for dementia, supporting family caregivers and improving dementia care systems and policy. As an educator, Regina is passionate about preparing the next generation of public health leaders using the Alzheimer’s Association’s “A Public Health Approach to Dementia” curriculum. “Featuring the Association’s curriculum is central to our course on Epidemiology of Aging,” she shared. “It gives me an existing tool for evaluating students' knowledge, and it is also a great opportunity for them to see how health communication can be done in an engaging way.” 💜 During #AAPIMonth, we are proud to celebrate Regina for her dedication to research, education and public health.
