Advancing Alzheimer’s Awareness

As we continue to explore health equity issues, DREF is proud to partner with the Alzheimer’s Association.

The three planned webinars are designed to increase awareness of Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia, share updates on research and treatment, discuss the importance of participation in clinical trials, and provide resources for caregivers.

About the Webinars

Participants will:

Learn about Alzheimer’s Disease and various forms of Dementia and how they impact the African American Community.
Hear from researchers, medical practitioners, and caregivers
Get up-to-date research and best practices
Understand the importance of participation in clinical trials
Gain access to resources

The first webinar was held on June 18, 2025. More than 300 registered to participate in the rich conversation and the panelists’ expertise truly made a huge difference.

The webinar recording is available here.
