Today everyone knows someone touched by dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. We write about this disease because it cannot be prevented or cured. Millennials grew up watching their parents shoulder the responsibility of their grandparent’s care. As adults, those millennials will likely become the primary caregivers to their own aging baby boomer parents.

We need to solve this growing health crisis. Our world has faced many challenging crises over the years and with enough time; talent and resource has moved the needle on so many. My hope is that we can do the same one-day with dementia and that my writing may make some small contribution to that critical effort.
