Sarah Widmeyer: Caregiving Taught Her More Women Were Needed in Alzheimer’s Research

Sarah Widmeyer joins Being Patient Live Talks to discuss her experience caring for her mother, Elaine, who passed away from Alzheimer’s in 2022, and how the experience set her off on the path to advocating for more gender diversity in clinical research.
