Open to the Public
As we get ready to spend the holidays around family members of all ages, we want to invite you to please join us for an informative session on Alzheimer's disease, focusing on the importance of early diagnosis, potential risk factors, and how recognizing these signs can empower individuals and families to seek support and resources.
Neuropsychologists, Dr. Courtnay Wilson and Dr. Diana Michalczuk of The Memory Clinic will discuss the subtle cognitive and behavioral changes that may signal the onset of Alzheimer's disease, including memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in communication.
The talk will also focus on the impact of these symptoms on daily life, and provide guidance on when to seek professional help. We will further discuss information on current treatments for Alzheimer's disease as well as a research update that includes prevention.
Whether you are a caregiver, a healthcare professional, or simply interested in learning more about this critical topic, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to recognize early indicators of Alzheimer's, fostering understanding and compassion for those affected by this condition.
Together, let's enhance our awareness and support for individuals and families navigating this journey.
This informative talk is sponsored by the Shires Young Professionals and The Memory Clinic. Refreshments of donuts and cider will be generously provided by The Apple Barn.
