   Zoom Meeting   

Memory and Aging Program
Butler Hospital

This Memory and Aging Program presentation will briefly go over some basic Alzheimer’s disease education as well as brain health tips and a definition of "what's normal and what's not" when it comes to memory and aging.  Participants will also learn all about a new lifestyle intervention study for the prevention of Alzheimer's called the U.S. POINTER study.  This is great chance to learn what’s new in Alzheimer's prevention research, what is involved, and who might be eligible.

She received her bachelor’s degree from Roger Williams University in Communications with a minor in Biology.
