Doctors' Awareness of Alzheimer's Disease


I was at the Alzheimer's Partnership meeting today and the discussion came up regarding how the Alzheimer's Association can educate physicians on the resources for families that are facing an Alzheimer's diagnosis. It seemed very discouraging that our local doctors ( in a sweeping statement) are not interested in utilizing the Association and their resources. There was a lot of frustration in the room. Education of our local North Shore community is our goal, so we will keep trying. Putting packages in the doctor's waiting room was brought up, but a doctor's referral to the Association would be so much more effective.

On another note, I will be celebrating a birthday with a zero at the end of it in PARIS next week!!

À bientôt
