Cardiovascular Care and Brain Health in Native Communities: An Interdisciplinary Panel Discussion on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias @ online

Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) are aging-related health conditions that have
profound social and economic impacts. The connection between heart health and brain health
has been well studied, with notable links between nutrition, lifestyle factors, and genetics.
As practically all Tribal communities experience a disproportionate burden of ADRD risk
factors, it is crucial for healthcare providers and researchers to understand the source of these
disparities to better inform and prepare systems of care. Please join us for an engaging panel
discussion with ADRD experts and researchers where we further explore these topic areas!
