Alzheimer's, Dementia, and Public Health

Greg Woods will give a presentation about Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias on Thursday, March 30 at 5:30pm in the library's community meeting rooms. 

This program highlights the growing focus on Alzheimer's and dementia in public health, including what causes memory loss,  what the latest research shows in our fight against these conditions,  what can be done to decrease one's risk,  what resources exist locally, and what the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services is doing to help.
