Dr. Samantha John (Medicine), a neuropsychologist in the Brain Health Department, was recently featured on Channel 8 News Now. She appears in a segment highlighting disparities in dementia care among Latino communities in Southern Nevada. In the report by Ozzy Mora, John discusses the state’s rapidly rising rates of neurodegenerative disease and emphasizes the urgent need for culturally informed care and improved access to specialized brain health services. This interview highlights how delayed diagnosis, limited provider availability, and underrepresentation in clinical research continue to impact Latino populations at disproportionate rates. John’s work underscores UNLV’s commitment to advancing health equity and addressing critical community health challenges.
