“There has never been a more hopeful time in the fight against Alzheimer’s and dementia. Every day, new discoveries are changing what’s possible for diagnosis, treatment, and support. Just as encouraging is what we’re learning about brain health. Scientists now believe that nearly half of dementia cases worldwide may be linked to factors we can influence, such as heart health, physical activity, hearing, sleep, social connection, and managing conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. Taking care of your brain and body is not a luxury,” said Lori Stanton, Program Director, Alzheimer’s Association Oregon Chapter.
The event is free, but seating is limited and registration is required. To register:
