Join Alzheimer's Association, Vt Chapter staff member, Jessie Cornell, MSW on
Thursday, July 24 from 11 am to 12 pm at the Champlain Senior Center, 241 North Winooski Ave, Burlington for a free education program, The Ten Warning Signs: Early Detection Matters.

The class will help attendees:
- Recognize the warning signs of Alzheimer's and other dementias
- Review the diagnostic process
- Learn about the FDA-approved medications
- Understand what resources are available and where to turn for help

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. We’ll separate myth from reality and address commonly-held fears about Alzheimer’s. Hear from people who have the disease and find out how to recognize the signs in yourself and others.
