  Research and New Treatments in Alzheimer's Care:
  

  Creating A World Without Alzheimer's  

  
  

  You heard her inspirational Woman of the Year speech.  You saw the charismatic, passionate leader at the forefront of Alzheimer’s care.  Now, here is the opportunity to get close and personal with our 2013 Woman of the Year winner, Dr. Elizabeth Edgerly.  She will share the latest in Alzheimer's science and care as well as steps you can take to reduce your own risk of developing dementia.  Dr. Edgerly states, “We are now closer than ever to identifying Alzheimer's changes in the brain years before symptoms occur. With this recent development we may someday be able to intervene and slow the progression of the disease or even halt it entirely, before symptoms occur.”  Don’t miss out!
