“Researchers I.D. barriers to care as Alzheimer’s diagnoses in Latinos explode”
“Researchers I.D. barriers to care as Alzheimer’s diagnoses in Latinos explode,” by Kimberly Marselas, McKnight’s LTC News “It’s no shock that Alzheimer’s diagnoses are expected to rocket upward over the coming decades — but researchers say one group will bear an unfair share of the burden and may be the least prepared to cope.
