Published Updated 1 Min Read


We’re don’t normally advocate being a couch potato, but Sunday, we’ll make an exception. Tune in to the new PBS documentary, “THE FORGETTING: A Portrait of Alzheimer’s,” an encore broadcast of the Emmy-Award-Winning program. The program features a panel of medical experts and scientists who discuss the latest developments in research as well as first-person stories of families experiencing the disease. It’s well worth a view for anyone who has personal experience with the disease as well as recommended viewing for your employees who may also be affected.

Also, don’t forget to view our own article on the subject, available in this month’s issue of Employee Benefit News. Click here to read, “Future Alzheimer’s epidemic puts spotlight on caregivers.”
