Know the 10 Signs...

8/26/2016

0 Comments

A workshop presented by the Alzheimer’s Association

The warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease are often dismissed

as side effects of normal aging. If you or someone you know
is experiencing memory loss or behavioral changes, it’s time to
learn the facts. Early detection gives you a chance to begin drug
therapy, enroll in clinical studies and plan for the future.
Attend this interactive workshop to learn the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s
disease. We’ll separate myth from reality and address commonly-held fears about
Alzheimer’s in America. Hear from people who have the disease and find out how
to recognize the signs in yourself and others.
