Encore: From Caregiver to Changemaker – A Look Inside the Impact Board with Meryl Comer on Fighting Alzheimer’s

We’re taking a short break while we work on our new season, but in the meantime, we’ve got a special encore episode from our archives where we chat with a powerful force in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease: Meryl Comer, a member of our Alzheimer’s Moonshot Impact Board.

Driven by personal experience watching her husband battle the disease, Comer transformed from award-winning journalist to passionate advocate. She is the Co-founder & Board Member of UsAgainstAlzheimers; the U.S. Representative for the Global Brain Trust; and Vice-Chair of WHAM (Women’s Health Access Matters).

Hear her story:

• Witnessing the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s firsthand
• Taking action through co-founding UsAgainstAlzheimers
• The critical role of advocacy and policy change
• The emotional and physical burden of caregiving

Comer also shares her insights on:

• Destigmatizing Alzheimer’s diagnosis
• Anchoring innovation in the realities of care
• Treating the source of the disease

This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by Alzheimer’s, passionate about healthcare innovation, or inspired by the power of advocacy.
