‘60 Minutes’ Airs Spotlight on Banner Alzheimer’s Research, Clinical Trial

Did you catch CBS “60 Minutes” broadcast on Alzheimer’s disease and the Banner clinical trial on Nov. 27?

If you saw the show, you heard how the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute (BAI) is helping lead the way to a future without Alzheimer’s through the Alzheimer’s Prevention Initiative, an international collaborative formed to evaluate the most promising therapies as quickly as possible.

In the story, anchor Lesley Stahl reports on a community in Medellin, Colombia, where study of residents by BAI could be vital to determining if Alzheimer’s may eventually be avertable.

To help connect people with research opportunities and information, BAI created the Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry to accelerate research efforts. While the research community has made great strides in better understanding Alzheimer’s, one of the biggest barriers to further advancement remains finding volunteers for important research studies.

Join the Registry to:

  • Learn about Alzheimer’s prevention & research
  • Receive occasional emails about studies that need participants like you
  • Become a part of a movement to end Alzheimer’s
  • Help move research forward.
