  • Summary

  • Fayron Epps, PhD, RN, a nurse with 20+ years’ experience creating culturally relevant programs to reduce health disparities for underserved populations, highlighted significant health findings, negatively impacting the Black community. 

     Dr. Epps passionately implored patients, their families, caregivers, and spiritual leaders to be engaged, for it is clear the status quo will be insufficient to sustain the community, and the consequences could be dire. The impending threat emphasized the urgency to adapt and collaborate on this new path that ensures the community’s survival and vitality. 

     “I heard that by 2030, 40% of individuals in America with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or dementia would be Black or Latino – that’s seven years away… This is from a report released by Florida International University and UsAgainstAlzheimer's”. - Fayron Epps, PhD, RN

     Dr. Epps can be reached at 678-723-8188 or through email at fepps@emory.edu.
