Building Dementia Friendly Communities & Rotary

Описание: We address the pressing issue of Alzheimer's disease in the United States and specifically in Wisconsin. Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, including an estimated 6.9 million individuals aged 65 and older in 2024. Among them, 73 percent are age 75 or older, and about 1 in 9 people age 65 and older (10.9%) are affected by this condition.

Sadly, Wisconsin reflects this troubling trend, with 111,000 people aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer's. Additionally, 10.9% of people aged 45 and older in Wisconsin experience subjective cognitive decline.

Our guest speakers for this discussion include:
Karl Hertz, Past District Governor
Diane Milner, representative from the Alzheimer's Association
Natraj Shanker, member of the Alzheimer's/Dementia Rotary Action Group
Carol Giuliani, owner of Senior Travel Companion Services

Join us as we delve into the statistics, share personal stories, and explore the efforts being made to combat Alzheimer's disease. Do not miss this important conversation on a topic that affects millions of families across the nation.
