درباره این اپیزود
In this encore episode, Hello Alzheimer's host Karla Hult talks with Michael Ellenbogen. Michael is a husband, father and former high-powered network operations manager for a Fortune 500 financial institution. And Michael -- a self-described "bulldozer of dementia" -- is also a fierce and tireless international advocate of those living with dementia. And that group includes Michael himself.
Michael's journey began at the excruciatingly young age of 39 with his first diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease coming a full decade later. And while doctors remain uncertain what -- or even how many -- form(s) of dementia Michael may have, Michael is focused on all he can do right now to improve the lives of everyone living with dementia, their families and our communities. He serves on boards, advises organizations, testified before Congress, and even addressed the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland.
To say this is a "must listen to" episode in our "Voices of Dementia" series is an understatement. Because Michael simultaneously charms and challenges... showing us all how we can use our own unique voice of dementia.
For more of Michael's powerful perspective, you can check out his book: From the Corner Office to Alzheimer's.
Michael also mentioned his favorite Alzheimer's- or dementia-related organization is UsAgainstAlzheimer's.
