Alzheimer’s disease disproportionately affects people in Black and Hispanic communities, and older Black Americans are twice as likely as older white Americans to develop the disease. The Alzheimer’s Association’s Rochester & Finger Lakes Chapter hosted its 10th annual Dr. Lemuel & Gloria Rogers Health Symposium on March 11 to bring awareness, education and advocacy to the fight against the ongoing health crisis among the Black community. More Than 200 people registered for the complementary virtual event.
