Alzheimer’s Speaks Radio

with Film Director Kevin O’Neill

Today we are lucky to have Kevin O’Neill who worked in television and film on shows like “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman”, “Beverly Hills 90121″and “Highway to Heaven.” Kevin’s thirty-year background in acting has made him a strong director with actors. He has written and directed several short films, “Clark”, “Captain Fin”, “Lean”, Perception and “Undertaking.” “Undertaking” starred Los Angeles veteran Eddie Jemison.

Kevin’s short films have toured the film festival circuit winning ten grand jury awards. He has written four feature scripts “Thundersmack”, “Trestles”, “Undertaking” and “The Flamingo Kids”. Kevin has been a Course Director at Full Sail University where he has taught directing for over ten years. He has taught acting classes for the last twenty years in the Orlando area.

Push Research Forward. Join the A-List

An Important message from our friend Meryl Comer:

We want what you want when it comes to figuring out solutions to the challenges we all face on our personal Alzheimer’s journeys. Take the critical issue of recruitment for clinical trials. How do you figure out whether you or a loved one is eligible, or if there is even a trial or study close to home? These simple online tools from two trusted A-List partners will help you get started, so just click below to get started.

Roobrik: click here to take a free, 4-minute assessment to learn more about clinical research and decide whether participating in a research study is right for you. You will be asked a series of questions to help you understand how factors such as age and health can affect which studies you might be eligible for, and what exactly is involved in clinical studies.

Antidote: click here when you are ready to look for a clinical trial. You will be asked a series of questions to determine which trials may be right for you.

Please give us feedback on your experience and look out for the next round of decision tree tools on issues like “Is It Still Smart To Drive” and “Is Homecare Right For You.”
