Efforts to End Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's Disease continues to baffle medical experts. Little is known about the cause and progression - what is known is that the number of those afflicted is likely to triple in the next few decades. Alzheimer's slowly destroys memory and thinking skills -- and eventually kills. On the next Sound of Ideas, we'll get the latest on Alzheimer's treatment and research and learn about new efforts taking place in Ohio to develop a national strategic plan to fight it. George Vradenburg, Philanthropist & Chairman, US Against Alzheimer’s
