The Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Indiana Chapter, will be hosting a free session on “Orientation to Memory Loss” on April 5 from 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m., at the Warsaw Community Public Library. The session, which is free to the public, requires registration by contacting 800-272-3900. The library is located at 310 E. Main Street in Warsaw.
Orientation to Memory Loss will discuss the general memory loss that goes along with aging and why many individuals are needlessly worrying about if they have Alzheimer’s when they forget a person’s name.
Today, approximately 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, including 120,000 Hoosiers. Every 68 seconds, someone develops Alzheimer’s disease, making Alzheimer’s disease the 6th leading cause of death. The direct and indirect costs of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias amount to more than $200 billion annually.
The Alzheimer’s Association is the world leader in Alzheimer’s research and support. Having awarded more than $292 million to over 2,000 research projects, the Alzheimer's Association is the largest private funder of Alzheimer research. The Association’s vision is a world without Alzheimer’s disease. For more information, visit www.alz.org/indiana
