What does Simantini Karve think about current health issues?
Simantini highlights dementia as a growing concern among Americans, as the number will continue to increase but healthcare systems are inadequately prepared to help families struggling with dementia care. The majority of caregivers struggle with finding resources. She believes Healthnews is a great platform to provide information about dementia and other conditions that are so often ignored, thus making health information more accessible to the average reader.
