Memory Awareness Day a huge success!
Yesterday was national memory awareness day (ALzheimer’s Foundation) Lifespan set up a display table in the lobby of the JCC Boynton Beach. We conducted free memory screens for approx. 25 people, all in two hours.It was a busy morning. we also educated the public about brain health and local resources. very successful… so much so that we’ve decided to repeat at other senior centers in the south palm beach community.
Our suspicions were confirmed as people approach our table: there is considerable apprehension out there about memory evaluation, we think because people believe there is nothing you can do about declining memory. we’re out to change that perception! Beginning this Spring Lifespan will offer evidence based memory improvement classes. Looking forward… stay tuned!
