Alzheimer’s’ disease affects an estimated 2.9 million people over the age of 65 in the United States.  African Americans are 35% less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s yet twice as likely to develop dementia than most of the country.

This month’s edition features 100 Black Men of Syracuse and the Central NY Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association and their collaboration on an event taking place March 12th at the Dunbar Center in Syracuse. Local and National experts on the subject will be presenting best practices and taking questions in a Town Hall on “A Peace of Mind.”
