On this West Virginia Morning, the WVPB news team has launched a new, occasional series titled “Getting Into Their Reality: Caring For Aging Parents.” It’s focused on the challenges that come with caring for aging parents in West Virginia — from dementia to Alzheimer’s to mobility issues. In this first installment, News Director Eric Douglas interviews Dr. Lynn Goebel, a professor of internal medicine and geriatrics at Marshall University. She works at the Hanshaw Geriatric Center and spoke with Douglas to explain what is going on inside the brain.
