+Alzheimer's Reading Room
I wish someone would/could create a website that was a national database of sorts of Alzheiemer's patients.
I'm just sitting around thinking about Alzheimer's -- as usual.
What do you think? Is there a need for a National Database? Would you use it?
Please share your opinions and comments below in the comments section.
