Speaking of Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's in the Hispanic Community


Listen Later

On today’s episode, we’re taking a look at Alzheimer’s and dementia through the lens of the Hispanic community. We’re joined by Evelyn Miranda from West Hartford, CT, who is a caregiver for her husband, Eddie, who is living with Alzheimer’s disease and Maria Canales from New Haven, CT, who is a longtime volunteer, community educator - presenting programs in both English and Spanish - and board member for the Alzheimer’s Association CT Chapter. The two share their personal perspectives on the disproportionate impact of Alzheimer’s and dementia on Hispanic Americans and discuss language and cultural barriers to accessing care.
