Georgia Leads the Way In Addressing the National Dilemma of Undiagnosed Alzheimer’s In Georgia hundreds of thousands of people are experiencing the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias, but aren’t diagnosed. Unfortunately, undiagnosed dementias can lead to unnecessary ER visits, massive expenses, excessive caregiver burden, and life-threatening medical complications.

Georgia Memory Net (GMN) is funded by the Georgia Department of Human Services, and authorized by the Georgia General Assembly and Governor of Georgia. GMN is built on a foundation of close partnerships between the state, dementia experts at Emory University, and interdisciplinary memory assessment center teams, who help Georgians get accelerated and accurate diagnosis. GMN now runs Scan this code for Memory Assessment Clinics around the state. It’s the referral information. model that many states are now hoping to emulate.

gpb next magazine Dear Friends, December is a month of holidays. And while most of them are associated with gift giving and receiving, it’s also a good time to look back at all the gifts GPB has provided over the last year in the form of quality television, informative radio, innovative education and digital ventures and all-important community engagement. Thank you for making all that possible. Without the vital support you provide we wouldn’t be able to serve you and others across the state with these things and more!

This is also a time of reflection about what matters to us, and one of those things for me is GPB. You see, you have a very intimate relationship with GPB’s product – the entertaining and engaging programming that comes to you across a number of mediums enhancing the quality of your life. I have the wonderful blessing of seeing everything that goes into making that possible. The people who work at GPB are the most dedicated group I’ve ever known. They believe in the mission of this company, and regardless of what part they play, they’re invested in our shared success. A few months ago, I asked the company to engage in an exercise of sharing words they thought embodied GPB. I thought it was a great idea for a staff t-shirt… GPB is… but what I got instead was an absolute reminder of what we mean to the communities we serve as well as one another. Words like community, education, love, knowledge, truth, trust and so many more peppered my email for days. It was affirmation. We are doing the right thing.

You know what else is affirming? You! And the time you spend with us. You’ll see as you look through the schedule that GPB TV has a lot of wonderful holiday programming coming up this month as part of our annual Season of Giving. In addition, you’ll see some new items from FRONTLINE to American Masters, and of course the exciting new Mary Berry’s Ultimate Christmas premiering Monday, December 19 at 9 p.m.

Read on to hear about GPB’s work in the community through education, engagement, high school football and more. We are here for you and because of you. Thank you so much for your investment and your trust.

See you in 2023 for another year of quality.

Warmly,

Bert Wesley Huffman GPB President

GPB EDUCATION GPB EDUCATION LAUNCHES COMMUNITY BACKPACK

G

PB Education has launched a multi-faceted outreach and awareness initiative in five communities across the state that have been strategically chosen according to their location and socioeconomic data, including

neighborhoods in Bibb County, Muscogee County, Fannin County, Jackson County and Atlanta.

As part of the campaign, GPB Education is working with community partners, including the Georgia Family Connection Partnership (GaFCP), to distribute 3,500 backpacks that contain learning activities, school supplies and information on how to access GPB Education and PBS Kids content (English and Spanish).

Additionally, GPB Education has created a new webpage at gpb.org/education/welcome, which helps serve as a guide to its website content. The target age will be Pre-K and Kindergarten students.

Volunteers assemble backpacks for students in five Georgia communities.

“We know all families want to support their child’s learning and development at home but may not necessarily have the tools and resources they need,” said GPB director of education Laura Evans, “With the help of our amazing network of community partners, this initiative allows us to put high-quality, research-based learning resources directly into the hands of families who need them most.”

In addition to the distribution of backpacks in the communities, GPB Education is conducting targeted canvassing in under-resourced neighborhoods to let parents/caregivers know about the resources and encourage them to explore materials appropriate to the grade level of their children.

Statewide, these efforts are being supported by GPB Education Outreach Specialists who help educators and families integrate digital learning into the education of the children in their care through informational sessions, professional development workshops and ongoing support for educators and schools as well as libraries, teaching museums, childcare centers and Head Start programs.

We were pleased to sponsor an Introduction to Storytelling Workshop for Georgia Parent Support Network Youth MOVES while The Moth was in town as well, during which participants learned about the power of a story as an empathetic communication tool.

The stories continue with The Moth GrandSLAM Championship in Atlanta this month. Join GPB and The Moth for a night of fine storytelling at Center Stage on December 5. Visit gpb.org/community for more information.

A SOUTHERN CELTIC CHRISTMAS EXPLORES CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS

Scene from A Southern Celtic Christmas

O

ne of GPB’s most-beloved holiday programs is returning for the twelfth year, and it is sure to be a delight for viewers once again. Described as “enchanting,” “resplendent” and “magical,” A Southern Celtic Christmas celebrates in music,

dance, poetry, song and story the high spirits and mystical beauty of the Christmas traditions of the Celtic lands and their connections with similar traditions of the American South.

Produced in Ireland, in the mountains of Appalachia and on the stage of the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts at Emory University, highlights of the program include performances by Grammy Award winners “First Lady of Celtic Song” Moya Brennan, bluegrass and Celtic banjo virtuoso Alison Brown and Riverdance composer Bill Whelan.

Beloved Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney is featured in a rare interview filmed in Glendalough, the beautiful ruins of the 6th century monastic settlement that provides the setting for his poem, “St. Kevin and the Blackbird.” Noted Yeats scholar and director, Irish tenor and storyteller James Flannery, provides a performance of the poem that is one of the highlights of the program.

Three Questions with Emory’s Dr. James Lah About Alzheimer’s Disease in Georgia

Dr. James Lah is the Director of Emory’s Cognitive Neurology Program, and is the Co-Director of Georgia Memory Net. As a renowned expert in the fields of neurology and dementia, we asked him about the state of Alzheimer’s disease in Georgia.

We know Alzheimer’s disease can lead to memory loss. What are other possible effects of the disease?

If I think I or a loved one might have Alzheimer’s, what should I do?

People may show the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in a unique way. While most experience memory difficulty, some have trouble with communication, organization, or processing visual information.

Some have trouble recognizing their own limitations. Some patients may have sleep disturbances, irritability, paranoia, delusions, and even aggressive or violent behaviors.

Discuss your concern with your primary care provider. For those on Medicare, the free Annual Wellness Visit includes routine screening for memory loss and cognitive decline.

What’s on the horizon for the treatment of Alzheimer’s?

Georgia Memory Net (GMN) is a statewide program that makes diagnostic evaluation accessible to all Georgians, and supports families living with Alzheimer’s and related disorders. GMN can work with your primary care physician to provide diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and support services.

The first wave of “disease-modifying therapies” are on the horizon. These treatments will heighten the urgency of early diagnosis, as many are expected to be ineffective beyond the earliest stages of disease.

Sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Services.

Managed by the Cognitive Neurology Program at Emory.
