The topic of Alzheimer's and its impacts on patient, caregiver, and the African American community specifically are discussed. Panelists include: executive director of the D.C. Office on Aging Jearline Williams, geriatric specialist Paul Rhodes, the head of the Washington Office of the Alzheimer's Association Leo Givs, and local radio personality and primary caregiver Nap Turner. They talk about how Alzheimer's is recognized, diagnosed, and treated in the African American community. Two main topics of focus are the behaviors and trepidation present in the culture between African Americans and healthcare in general and the emotional challenges that face a primary caregiver with a parent suffering from Alzheimer's.
