Alzheimer’s planning, policy, and protections to know with Utah Alzheimer’s Association’s Jeremy Cunningham

As we continue our conversation on Alzheimer's disease and dementia, Jeremy Cunningham, Public Policy Director of the Alzheimer's Association Utah Chapter, discusses what families and caretakers of patients need to know. Issues from the causes and contributions to cognitive decline and medications, to the legal/scam protections and policy, as well as Adult Protective Services. Even if you do not have a loved one with Alzheimer's, it is important to learn about this ‘Silver Tsunami’ issue of public health. 

Even though we live in challenging times, we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband, Major Brent Taylor, was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together, and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward. 

Presented by Minky Couture, makers of the most luxurious and soft blankets with a mission to share comfort and love during the special moments of life.
