The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Huling Hummel, a fierce Alzheimer’s advocate and a voice for those living with the disease, will be the guest speaker at the First Presbyterian Union Church of Owego, N.Y. on Feb. 24, from 3 to 4 p.m. Her presentation, UnMasking Alzheimer’s, is based on her book by the same name which features her artwork and focuses on the changes and challenges that come with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
She will also talk about the warning signs, and the programs and services available to those who are living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias as well as resources and supports for care partners.
Cynthia serves as a National Early-Stage Advisor for the Alzheimer’s Association and speaks locally, and nationally about living with Alzheimer’s disease.

As a member of the Faith United Against Alzheimer’s Coalition, a national network of clergy, laity and faith organizations, she has written several chapters for an upcoming book on serving the spiritual and worship needs of persons with dementia.
Cynthia is passionate about Alzheimer’s research and has been a participant in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuro-Imaging Initiative study since 2010.
