In this Leaders in Elder Care interview, I had the privilege to speak to Dr. Kevin O’Neil. I first met Dr. O’Neil at Brookdale’s Brain Symposium a few months ago at UCLA, where I left quite impressed with the his approach to brain fitness and brain health. Dr. O’Neil combines a deep understanding of both the science behind brain health and the practical advise that non-doctors require to do something about. Congratulations, Dr. O’Neil, for being a Leader in Elder Care.
I hope you all enjoy the interview.
