Black Americans are at a higher risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). As a matter of fact, AD occurs in such high rates that it is considered a “silent epidemic”. In our upcoming webinar, we will learn the stark reality of why Black and Brown people count for the highest number of diagnoses.
Our guest speaker is LeTonia A. Jones, MSW. She works as a mitigation specialist serving incarcerated individuals facing capital punishment in Kentucky. Jones also works as a Managing Editor for an international learning platform called Embodied Philosophy.
Webinar learning objectives:
- Discuss racial disparities in healthcare as related to Black Americans
- Provide an overview of the rates and the scope of Alzheimer’s disease within Black communities
- Discuss ways to build trust and engage Black communities in the research and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease
