Kristen Cusato

Kristen Cusato was a journalist for more than 20 years, 11 of which were spent at News Channel 8 in New Haven, Conn. When her best friend, her mom Linda, was diagnosed with dementia, their lives changed. Kristen became a caregiver for her mother, and helping others going through the same situation became her passion and purpose. She now works for the Alzheimer’s Association, raising awareness of the disease, sharing care techniques and the very latest research towards prevention, new treatments and eventually a cure.
