Health Professionals NYC Honors November as National Alzheimer's Awareness Month
Health Professionals NYC, a Leading Combined Urgent Medical Care and Dental Pros Center in New York, Helps Educate the Public on Ways to Better Serve People Dealing with Alzheimer's Disease.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) November 07, 2013 - The month of November marks National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. Health Professionals NYC, the umbrella entity that includes Astoria-based Dental Pros NYC and Urgent Medical Care NYC, hopes to educate patients, caregivers and families about support groups available to them in their communities.
Alzheimer's Disease affects brain cells, resulting in the loss of memory, disruption of proper brain activity and the ability to properly manage daily activities. A patient diagnosed with Alzheimer's requires a certain amount of care, depending on the stage of the disease and other individual circumstances. In many cases, the caregiver is a loved one, who provide millions of hours of unpaid care every year. The role can be a stressful one, with many highs and lows over the course of care.
In order to help these caregivers provide the best possible care, support groups meet regularly all over the US. These groups provide valuable information to caregivers, often from first hand experience, as well as an emotional foundation for those struggling with the difficulties of caring for a parent or loved one. The Alzheimer's Association provides a search tool for local support groups and other valuable resources to caregivers and patients. All of these resources can be found on their website, www.alz.org.
"Alzheimer's is a widespread problem for many people in our area and around the world. With cases on the rise, people need to be educated on early warning signs and what resources there are to help until a cure can be developed," said Emanuel Inoyatov, Chief Operating Officer at Health Professionals NYC.
Health Professionals NYC is a unique facility combining the best features of an urgent medical clinic and a top-notch dental practice, accepting most insurances. It is a one-stop-shop for care, serving the needs of the NYC community with professionalism, speed, and respect.
On the clinical side, Health Professionals NYC offers fast and affordable medical and dental care with no emergency room wait. With average wait times in NYC emergency rooms getting more obscene by the day, more New Yorkers are looking to urgent care clinics, who can provide care on the clinical level of a hospital but in a more much more timely and cost-effective manner.
