A message to our patients and families about staffing changes at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital

Our mission to care for the children and families of our communities is unwavering.

Author | Mary Masson

Currently, because of the significant financial impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the entire Michigan Medicine health system and medical school have had to undergo staff reductions. Unfortunately, layoffs were necessary to continue serving our communities at the level our patients and families have come to expect from us. You can see Michigan Medicine’s statement on these reductions here.

The team at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital is like a family, and we are all feeling these staff reductions very deeply. Our hearts are with the staff whose positions have been eliminated. We will work to continue making our hospital and clinics places all our employees can be proud of and, most importantly, to continue the important mission these team members have been a part of with the same compassion and expertise so many of you have been touched by as part of the Mott family.

Vision Impairment as a Risk Factor for Dementia
The population of older adults living with dementia is expected to swell to nearly 14 million by 2050 and is estimated to cost the US economy more than 500 billion each year. In the absence of a cure for Alzheimer's disease, the primary cause of dementia, there's interest in understanding modifiable risk factors. In theory, getting a handle on the modifiable risk factors for dementia, would enable public health efforts to reduce cognitive decline in dementia at the population level. We've come a long way in understanding the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias. However, there's still work to be done. In this episode, we'll speak with Dr. Josh Ehrlich, a researcher at the University of Michigan, who has examined vision impairment as a risk factor for dementia.
