Two sessions about memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease will be given free for the public Wednesday, April 13 in Sartell at the District Service Center, 212 Third Ave. N.
People can choose which of the two sessions they would like to attend – one at 11 a.m. or one at 1:30 p.m.
The sessions will be led by Angela Lunde, MA, the cognitive health and wellness director at the Mayo Clinic.
Those who want to attend should call Erica Frey at 320-492-8905 or via Internet at actsartellcommunity@gmail.com.
At the sessions, Lunde will share current research about specific things people can do to maintain and/or improve memory. People will have a chance to share thoughts, concerns and ideas.
Lunde will also outline the differences between normal age-related memory loss and the warning signs of dementia. She will also share ways that cities can become “dementia-friendly” and how people can improve the lives of those who suffer severe memory loss.
The sessions are sponsored by ACT Sartell, a group of Sartell residents and business professionals who work together to help create safe and informed communities for everyone touched by memory loss and other cognitive issues.
