The David Lawrence Center says there are about 20,000 people with Alzheimer’s in Southwest Florida, a disease that affects not only the person living with it but those around them.
Alzheimer’s is a disease that gradually causes people to lose their memory. It’s a hard reality for caregivers who have to watch their loved ones lose all recognition of who they are.
There is a push to bring a research hub to Southwest Florida to support patients and families.
