Alector is proud to sponsor Massachusetts General Hospital Frontotemporal Disorders Unit's hybrid community event in Boston this week. Hosted in Spanish, this event aims to bring information about FTD to the Hispanic community through a screening of the short film about a woman living with dementia and her daughter as her caregiver, followed by a live Q&A session with the filmmakers and an MGH Neurology Department clinician to raise awareness about young-onset #dementia, its impact on caregivers and brain health for all.

Dementia and Alzheimer's are not interchangeable diagnoses. #Alzheimers disease makes up 60-80% of dementia cases. Knowing the signs and symptoms of all four types of #dementia can help you to recognize differences in a loved one and seek medical advice earlier.
