If I do not subscribe to HBO, how can I view this important program?

Great question, Lauren! I just spent time on the HBO site in their area dedicated to Altzheimer’s. Here is the link:
Here is the link to the Altzheimer’s area on their site. http://www.hbo.com/alzheimers/index.html

I learned that they have a book on the Altzheimer’s Project for $19.99. They have a three dvd set that you can purchase for $24.98. If you buy the book and dvds together, they are $39.99. Here is the link to information on the dvd: http://store.hbo.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3473174&cp=3558258

It isn’t entirely clear to me whether the book/dvds cover all of the segments of the tv programs. You might want to ask them some questions prior to purchase.

We would love to hear from you further, if you get additional information we should be sharing with visitors to SHF.
