Throughout the week, the Health and Wellness Channel has been focusing on Celebrities and Health. 

Some are Hollywood celebrities; others come from other walks of life.  By going public with their illness, they often make the world more aware and more willing to talk about a health situation that families keep”hidden in the closet.”

You, the caregiver,  and your Alzheimer’s patient also are celebrities and heroes in this challenge with a devastating disease.

Liz and I have written a number of posts on this topic this week.  In case you’ve missed any and would like to check them out, here is a roundup:
