BOSTON (WBZ) ― Did you know that 5.3 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's disease and that the chances of developing AD doubles every five years beyond age 65? Alzheimer's disease affects more than just the patient, but also their caregivers and frequently the entire family. AD is elevated among the Hispanic community where cultural differences and language barriers may further delay family members from seeking proper medical care. On this edition of "Centro", WBZ's Yadires Nova-Salcedo talks via satellite with Dr. Yanira Cruz, President and CEO of the National Hispanic Council on Aging. Tune in!
