World Alzheimer's Day™ - Diagnosing Dementia: See It Sooner

The theme for World Alzheimer's Day™ 2009 is 'Diagnosing Dementia: See It Sooner'. Join me for this one hour program with guests: Dr. Richard Singer, Neurologist and Alzheimer’s Researcher in Sunrise, Florida, Reni S. Rizzo, Community Education Coordinator for the Alzheimer's Association Southeast Florida Chapter, and special patient and family member guests as they discuss how an early diagnosis can improve quality of life and best care options. We will focus on the importance of getting a diagnosis and encouraging medical professionals to screen for dementia and families to recognize the early warning signs of the disease in order for people to receive the treatment and begin the planning they need. Every year on 21 September Alzheimer associations across the globe unite to recognize World Alzheimer's Day. Memory walks, open days, lectures, training courses, entertainment and conferences taking place internationally. Read about planned events for World Alzheimer's Day 2009 around the world, and in your community. I posted a link to “World Alzheimer Day” for easy access. For my part, as the author of two books on Alzheimer’s Disease, I will be gifting my free Alzheimer’s books, English first edition, signed, to the first 20 emails I receive during or aftert the show.
