- Welcome to WEGO Health, Virginia! It's great to have you. I'm so glad you've jumped in, joined the Alzheimer's group, and started a discussion there. For the next few weeks, I'm going to be doing lots of research and writing both in the Alzheimer's group and in my blog here on the site, and I'd definitely appreciate your thoughts along the way! It seems like you have experience as a caregiver and I think your experience will be really valuable to other caregivers here and to those of us who are interested in learning more about the disease and how it affects families.
Feel free to join other groups in our community and add posts to your blog too. And if you have any questions, thoughts, or ideas please let me know!
Looking forward to seeing you around :)
