As we age, changes in the brain can put us at risk for developing memory loss, Alzheimer’s, or other related dementias. The encouraging news is that research shows that up to 45 percent of dementia cases may be prevented or delayed by managing changeable risk factors. Join us for an informative and empowering discussion with Amanda Benjamin, Advanced Practice Nurse with Morris Hospital Neurology Specialists, where you will learn practical steps to take charge of your brain health.
