Alzheimer's Awareness Month Meets Native American Heritage Month

Hello Alzheimer's host Karla Hult talks with two leaders at the Alzheimer's Association, Minnesota-North Dakota chapter, about another glaring gap in our greater community: the high rate of dementia in the Native American community.

Nassise Geleta, Senior Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Jenna Pogorels, Associate Director of Community Services, Northern Minnesota, address the startling statistics and current outreach. Karla also reviews what the latest research suggests is behind this disparity.
