"Pennsylvania, one of the nation’s most elderly states, is unprepared for another kind of public health emergency — this one with no vaccine, few preventative measures and its own set of dire economic implications."
PublicSource and Spotlight PA have teamed up to provide comprehensive coverage of our state's preparedness to care for its residents with Alzheimer's disease and dementia disorders. Our reporters spoke to lawmakers, elder advocates, healthcare workers and family caregivers, among others, to detail the scope of the issue and explore the consequences if left unaddressed.
Don't miss the animated video that takes you into the emotional story of one Pittsburgh-area family coping with Alzheimer's.
P.S. Beyond collaboration on this story, we are also partnering with Spotlight PA to bring more investigative journalism about the state government to PublicSource readers. Learn more about that partnership here.
