ALZHEIMERS AWARENESS MONTH: FAITH COMMUNITIES FOR ACTION From CSJB Associate Julie Crawford
An estimated 6.5 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today. This number could grow to 13.8 million by 2060 barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, slow or cure AD. The Centers of Disease Control provides information about Alzheimer’s, other dementias, and subjective cognitive decline including warning signs and how women and minorities are at greater risk. The CDC also shares The Truth About Aging and Dementia including 7 ways to maintain your brain health and the interactions of drugs that mimic these diseases. If your family is facing this challenge or you know of others, you can reach out to a supportive on-line group USAgainstAlzheimer Community. SERMONS
