Upcoming Library Program Features Dementia Specialist

The number of adults with dementia is increasing. According to the Alzheimer’s Disease Foundation, every three seconds, someone in the world develops dementia.

To help answer questions about this disease, the East Brunswick Public Library (2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive) hosts an online program on Tuesday, December 21 at noon. A dementia specialist will be answering questions about this condition.

This program is led by Galina Markovich, an Adult Nurse Practitioner specializing in dementia care for over twenty years. She also provides counseling and leads support groups for caregivers for those who have dementia.

Markovich will explain the condition, as well as answer questions about caring for loved ones with dementia.

Registration is requested for this free online program. To register, go online to www.ebpl.org/calendar or call 732-390-6767.

This program is offered through the library’s “Just For The Health Of It!” consumer health and wellness information initiative. To learn about related programs and resources provided through the library, visit www.justforhtehealthofit.org.
