About this listen

Today we’re joined by Dr. Kristina Zdanys, Chief of Geriatric Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at the UConn School of Medicine, and Stacey Tucci, a veteran and Executive Director of a memory care community, for a powerful conversation about the connection between military service and dementia risk. Stacey reflects on her experience in the Air Force and her family’s personal journey with Alzheimer’s, while Dr. Zdanys offers insight into how brain injury, PTSD, and other service-related factors can affect long-term brain health, and how we can better support veterans and their families.
