Join us for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Daniel R. George and Dr. Peter J. Whitehouse, authors of the groundbreaking book "American Dementia: Brain Health in an Unhealthy Society". We’ll delve into the surprising revelation that dementia rates in the US are declining, thanks to a series of public health interventions. From vascular health to access to higher education, we’ll journey through the spectrum of factors that contribute to brain health.

Be prepared to rethink your perspective on dementia as we explore transformative concepts of dementia-friendly communities, the role of memory products, and the harmful effects of labeling older people with terms like Alzheimer's. Our discussion with Dr. George and Dr. Whitehouse will shed light on the need for a more personalized and community-centered approach to dealing with these multifaceted issues. We'll also discuss the new payment model released by CMS to enhance dementia care and its potential to foster better-coordinated care and access for underserved populations. 

Our conversation doesn't end there. We’ll tap into the power of arts, nature, and relationships to enhance the lives of those living with dementia. We'll highlight the importance of staying engaged with the American Dementia community and how purpose, play, and relationships can make a significant difference. Get ready to be inspired and informed as we delve into this complex and essential topic.
