Program Description: The warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease are often dismissed as side effects of normal aging.

Early detection, diagnosis and intervention are vital because they provide the best opportunities for treatment, support and planning for the future. Attend this interactive workshop to learn the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll separate myth from reality and address commonly held fears about Alzheimer’s disease.
