BOOK HIGHLIGHTS ROTARY'S ROLE IN ENDING POLIO... from RI News Link
A new book in the field of public health highlights Rotary’s role in the global effort to wipe out polio, and places it in the context of humanity’s relentless struggle to contain the world’s epidemics.
In “The Health of Nations: The Campaign to End Polio and Eradicate Epidemic Diseases” (Oneworld Publications), British journalist and Sunday Times best-selling author Karen Bartlett surveys the global landscape of epidemics past, present, and future. Beginning with the 1980 eradication of smallpox, she guides us through more timely threats such as the Ebola and Zika viruses, and looks ahead to a future without malaria, measles, or polio.

CNY Alzheimer's Associations - Our speaker Ms Catherine James, CEO , of the CNY Alzheimer's Association open her presentation with a brief overview of the history Alzheimer's. Although considerable progress is being made, much research is still needed to develop more effective treatments for Alzheimer's.
