A Public Health Approach to Alzheimer’s and Dementia

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, and its prevalence is growing. More than five million Americans are affected by Alzheimer’s, but that number is expected to triple by 2050. Is there hope on the horizon?

Join Greg Woods from the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services for a look at the causes of memory loss, what the latest research shows in our fight against these conditions, what can be done to decrease one’s risk, what resources exist, and what Iowa HHS is doing to help.

This program is open to the public and free to attend. Questions?
