Alzheimer's Disease: The Era of Treatment
Join our Kuleana and Community Talk Story with Nicolas Los Baños, the Alzheimer's Association's Hawai'i Island Regional Coordinator. He will be speaking about Alzheimer's and dementia research, promising new treatments, and how to gain awareness in order to connect people living with Alzheimer's and their families with the support they need.

There is exciting progress in Alzheimer's and dementia research that is creating promising new treatments for people living with the disease.
