Free Education Program on Alzheimer's and Dementia

"Dinner with a Doctor" program includes Geriatrician from Barnabas Health Group

Alzheimer’s disease is life changing for both the diagnosed individual, as well as their families and caregivers. As the disease progresses, people experience considerable changes with memory, abilities, judgement and behavior. While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, taking full advantage of available treatment, care and support resources can help those affected by the disease. This special program will include an overview of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia disorders, including the diagnostic process, available medical treatments, and care techniques. We will conclude the program with an overview of helpful resources that are available to support both the caregiver, as well as the person with the disease.

Speaker:
Shira Goldberg, MD
Barnabas Health Medical Group
Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Care

A light dinner will be served.
