But, I couldn\u2019t take on this disease alone and knew I needed a team,\u201d said Noreen Bishoff, Lead Instructor in the <a href=\"\/programs\/dental-assistant\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dental Assistant program<\/a> in New Baltimore, Michigan.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Ross-Medical-Education-Center-Michigan-region-Walk-to-End-Alzheimers-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ross Medical Education Center Michigan region Walk to End Alzheimers\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-78348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Ross-Medical-Education-Center-Michigan-region-Walk-to-End-Alzheimers-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Ross-Medical-Education-Center-Michigan-region-Walk-to-End-Alzheimers-2.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Doreen knew that with a team, they could be an unstoppable force against the nation\u2019s sixth-leading cause of death. In fact, in Michigan alone there are 180,000 cases of people suffering with this debilitating disease. This does not include the impact on the vast number of volunteers, health care providers, and family caregivers that give of their time and talent to provide the around the clock support needed by Alzheimer patients.<\/p>\n<p>A Team Captain dream was realized with the New Baltimore students and staff and they were proud to also welcome other Ross campus teams from the region! Students, as well as family members, fianc\u00e9s, significant others, siblings, and children got up early on a rainy Saturday morning and headed to the starting point for the 1.8 mile walk along with over 6,900 other participants. None of this phased this Ross region because they knew they weren\u2019t just giving up a Saturday, instead they were giving love and hope. Their hope is that one day there will no longer be a need to label a person as an Alzheimer patient. \u201cGreat job to all participants, and thank you for your participation from the bottom of my heart,\u201d said event organizer Noreen Bishoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, August 25th, at the Detroit Zoo, several Ross Medical Education Center campuses teamed up to participate in the&hellip;<br \/><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/ross-campuses-team-participate-alzheimers-walk-zoo\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78346,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78336"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
