Join us for an informative presentation led by Gigi Simpson, Community Educator with the Alzheimer’s Association. This session will explore the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia, clarify why these conditions are not a normal part of aging, and explain the stages, risk factors, and symptoms. Guests will also learn about current research, available treatments, and helpful resources for individuals and families navigating these diagnoses.
This event is free and open to the public. Don’t miss this important opportunity to gain insight and ask questions in a supportive environment.
