The Problem of Alzheimer's - Jason Karlawish, MD

The Problem of Alzheimer's - Jason Karlawish, MD

Penn Memory Center's Dr. Jason Karlawish argues that we need to rethink our societal approach that would give both patients with Alzheimer’s Disease and their caregivers a better quality of life. Healthcare personnel, caregivers, policy makers, and families who are affected by Alzheimer's Disease won't want to miss this online keynote address by Dr. Jason Karlawish, author of "The Problem of Alzheimer's." Dr. Karlawish is a Professor of Medicine, Medical Ethics and Health Policy, and Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania and Co-Director of the Penn Memory Center, where he cares for patients. He researches and writes about issues at the intersections of bioethics, aging, and the neurosciences. The keynote webinar will be held Saturday, October 16 6:30-8 PM. Registration for the public is a nominal $8, which can be directed to support any of three local agencies working with families affected by Alzheimer’s. You can also purchase a copy of his book at a discounted price. We will also honor our 2021 ACMS Physician of the Year during the webinar, Dr. Sky Blue from Sawtooth Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases. Please RSVP by October 13
