    CHANGE Co-Sponsor Sen. Shelley Moore Capito Delivers Impassioned Senate Floor Speech on Alzheimer’s

    “My father passed away in January of 2015, just one day before I was sworn in as a United States senator. My mother, Shelley, passed away just a few months beforehand in September of 2014. There is not a book that has been written yet that can tell you what to do when a loved one is diagnosed, because each case is different and there’s no magic formula. But I feel strongly that we can do much more to help our caregivers, to ease the pain of those who suffer from this disease, and, most importantly, to find a cure. …"

    Jason Resendez of LatinosAgainstAlzheimer’s Network on the Booming and Aging Latino Population

    The Latino older adult population is expected to triple by 2050, making up 18 percent of America’s older adults. The rise in that population could increase the number of Latino older adults suffering from Alzheimer’s by 600 percent.

    Jason Resendez, Director of LatinosAgainstAlzheimer’s discusses efforts to raise awareness.

    Resendez notes, “The leading risk factor for Alzheimer’s is advanced age. As Latinos live longer—in fact life expectancy for Latinos is expected increase to 87 years old on average by 2050—they’re at the highest risk bracket for Alzheimer’s disease.”
