Doreen Monks: A Neuroscience Nurse Got Early-Onset Alzheimer’s— Here’s How She’s Making a Difference
22 Apr 2024
Former neuroscience nurse practitioner and Alzheimer’s advocate Doreen Monks joins Being Patient Live Talks to discuss her experience with diagnosis and her path toward advocacy. As she shared in her previous live talk with us, Monk was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2016 at age 63, after which she became dedicated to sharing her story and working with organizations like Voices of Alzheimer’s, US Against Alzheimer’s, and the Alzheimer’s Association. Leveraging her background in neuroscience, specifically focusing on stroke care, management, prevention, and treatment, she uses her voice to reduce stigma around Alzheimer’s and promote education about the disease. Watch the full talk to learn more about her diagnosis and how she is using her medical background to educate others about Alzheimer’s disease.
