There will also be an expert panel discussion on topics such as the Risks in African-Americans, Signs and Symptoms of Caregiver Stress, and Care in the Late Stages of Alzheimer's, and the Ohio Caregiving Act which provides support to Ohio's 1.4 million family caregivers. The Ohio Caregiving Act was enacted into law on March 20, 2017.
