The Coming Dementia Crisis—and the Cost of Doing Nothing
Joel Salinas, founder and chief medical officer of Isaac Health, examines the growing dementia crisis as a looming economic and policy challenge for the United States.
It’s like watching a slow-moving meteor approach in plain sight. Everyone can see it coming, everyone knows the damage will be catastrophic—and yet our collective response has been to shrug and hope a cocktail umbrella will be enough to protect ourselves.
Salinas argues that the US has only a narrow and rapidly closing window to prepare for the crisis by strengthening care systems, supporting families, investing in risk reduction and treatment, and building infrastructure to blunt the worst of the impact.
If no action is taken, the crisis will accelerate past the point where preparation is possible, leaving only wreckage.
