New Series to Launch: Alzheimer’s Disease and the Central Nervous System

According to a report from the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, as many as 5.1 million Americans may have Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), a figure that is expected to triple to nearly 13.8 million by 2050. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in America, and individuals with AD use a disproportionate amount of health care resources compared to people with other diseases.

While there currently is no cure for AD, researchers are optimistic that effective treatments are on the horizon. We look forward to highlighting some of this research with you as we launch our series on Alzheimer’s disease and the Central Nervous System. We’ll also be sharing perspectives and programs from leading Alzheimer’s patient advocacy groups.

We encourage you to check back here over the coming months, and don’t forget to join the discussion on Twitter via @RWHCblog.
