Healthy Minds, Big Hearts: Inside the work of a local Alzheimer’s Association chapter with Deborah Levy

Fifty-five million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. But support is out there, thanks to the work of organizations like The Alzheimer’s Association.

On this all-new episode of the Covering Your Health podcast, host Evelyn Erives welcomes The Alzheimer’s Association of Orange County Executive Director Deborah Levy to talk about the local organization chapter’s mission to support those affected by Alzheimer’s and ways we can keep our brains happy and healthy as we age.

We also get a little behind the scenes look at the organization’s recent Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Huntington Beach where Erives served as its emcee.
