Bouncing Back sheds light on Alzheimer’s this week

Alzheimer's

The newest episode of Bouncing Back with Lisa Bien seeks to educate viewers about Alzheimer’s, an incurable and little understood disease of the mind.

Lisa brings two guests to the set of her show who have personal experience with the disease. Brigid Smith, a Marketing Specialist for the Temple Health system, has had two grandparents diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and describes how the disease impacts caregivers. Nancy Venner–a Broadcast Journalism Temple alumna and the Senior Director of Philanthropy for the Delaware chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association–provides scientific and physiological insight into the disease and answers many common questions, including explaining the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s.

To see this episode, tune in to TUTV on Comcast 50/Verizon 45 or online on Wednesday, June 1 at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m.
