In this episode of Mississippi Stories, Editor-at-Large Marshall Ramsey sits down with Denise Lafferty, Chief Strategy and Operations Officer, and Dr. Kim Tarver, Director of Clinical Services, from UMMC’s MIND Center.
The MIND Center, founded in 2010, was created to crack the code in Alzheimer’s, a devastating and growing form of dementia. One in 10 baby boomers will be diagnosed with the disease. To help combat dementia, the MIND Center has a three-prong mission: Research, Health Care and Education.
Lafferty and Tarver both talk about the research, ways to reduce your chances of getting the disease and ways you can take care of your brain.
