Wellness Talk: Dementia Denied with Ginger Smith

The mainstream medical view still holds that there is no cure for dementia, and for many people, that remains tragically true. That’s exactly why Ginger’s story feels so urgent to share. It is not presented as a miracle or a guaranteed path. It is one woman’s extraordinary lived experience of reversing her symptoms and reclaiming her independence after being near death. Come join Ginger to hear her inspiring memoir.
