Why Chosen

Wendy Mitchell's book serves as an eloquent reminder as to why I do the work that I do. Her words help to give meaning to the data collected and analyzed, presented and published. In her memoir, she beautifully shows how one can live well with Alzheimer's disease and why compassion and dignity are essential not only to interacting with someone living with this disease, but also for interacting with all of those around us.
