#EP47: The Alzheimer's Assoc. Provides

Thank you Dayna Ritchey for joining us today representing the Alzheimer's Association for Greater Cincinnati and Miami Valley chapters. As this disease is spreading quickly in our families and communities it's so great to have this wonderful organization for support. Dayna is the Program Director for the Greater Cincinnati and Miami Valley chapters of the Association. She is a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), and unfortunately has a lot of hands-on experience with Alzheimer's and other dementias. She was a caregiver to her mother, who died of Alzheimer's and her father-in-law, who passed from frontotemporal dementia. Dayna also has an MBA and worked for over 19 years at Procter & Gamble before she left to care for her mother.

We will cover these questions and more:

  • What does the Alzheimer's Association do?

  • How does the Alzheimer's Association help locally?

  • Does the Association just help families dealing with Alzheimer's disease or all dementia?

  • How do you raise awareness about Alzheimer's and other dementia?

  • What does the Alzheimer's Association do to advance research and treatments?

  • How can people contact the Alzheimer's Association for help?
