Join us for an insightful discussion with Carol Steinberg, a journalist and patient advocate, as we explore the critical issues surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive screening. Carol shares her personal experiences with the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit, highlighting the common mistakes in cognitive assessments and their impact on diagnosis. We’ll delve into the importance of early and accurate screening, the challenges patients face, and the racial disparities in Alzheimer’s diagnosis and treatment. Discover the role of lifestyle interventions, the need for better training for health care providers, and how we can educate the public to reduce stigma and fear.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “I had a (incorrect) memory screening. Have you even had one?”
