He has also received the American Medical Association Recognition Award. He was a family practice physician for Kearney Clinic for 39 years.

DATE: Monday, Oct. 3

QUOTE: “Alzheimer’s Disease was bewildering to me when I saw my first patient with it and I realized that I could do little for him. That was in 1969,” says Scott. “My grandfather was stricken in the 1970s, my mother in the 1980s, and it was the same story about medical help. In my practice, I have seen many of these fine, self-sufficient people be reduced to extreme dependency, grasping at straws with very little tools to help them. This presentation includes past, present and a murky future of this epidemic disease.”

CONTACT: Allen A. Thomas, assistant professor of chemistry, 308.865.8452, thomasaa@unk.edu
