We all forget: Is it normal aging or should I be concerned?
Thursday, August 26, 2010
2:00-3:00 p.m.
Oak Park Place,
Grandview Hall
718 Jupiter Dr., Madison
We all forget names occasionally and misplace keys and wallets. There is also growing recognition of the importance of having memory difficulties diagnosed and treated as early as possible. But not all memory glitches signify the start of a progressive disease like Alzheimer’s. Learn how our memories work, what’s “normal” as we age and what to do if we’re concerned for ourselves or others. Please register with Oak Park Place at 608.268.7109.
