We asked ADRC participants about their experience at the University of Pittsburgh Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.  Note that some individuals preferred we share their story using a different name or photo.

 

Zinna

I was looking to find out all I could about dementia, to understand what my dad was going through. I wanted to find out whether he had Alzheimer ‘s or another kind of dementia.”

Annie

There is more help for people with Alzheimer’s now than when my grandmother had it. I want to learn more about the disease and figure out if I’m going to get it.

Carl & Vera

The Center not only helped me figure out how to be a support system to my wife, but they have taught me how to deal with the changes that I see happening with her.
