Alzheimer’s Association, Clark County YMCA work to raise awareness of brain health

Janis Jasinsky became a community educator for the Alzheimer’s Association a decade ago, but her connection to the organization runs even deeper.

Her mother, Grace, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia in 2007. It was during this turbulent time Jasinsky saw firsthand how difficult caregiving for someone with dementia can be. Her father, Victor, struggled to take care of Grace on his own.
