Racial Disparities in Alzheimer's Care feat. Valene Campbell

  • Summary

  • Our guest today is a mother, a founder, a caregiver, a business woman, a dementia advocate, a children's book author, and (unsurprisingly) a master at handling burnout.

    Valene Campbell founded the home health care agency ReVitahealth, and is a dementia advocate who serves on both the Harvard Medical School Advisory Council for the Dementia Solutions Project, and the Alzheimer’s Society Canada NDG Black Community Working Group. In 2022, she was named one of ‘Canada's Top 100 Black Women to Watch’.

    Valene is also the founder of the Zou Zou Media Publishing House and has written three bestselling children’s books in The Amazing Zoe series since 2020.

    Today, we take a harrowing peek into the inequities that still plague our healthcare system (and our bookshelves), discuss finding balance between raising our kids and caregiving for our parents, and ultimately learn to contend with burnout.
