The Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter’s educational program, Know the Ten Signs: Early Detection Matters, will take place at 11a.m. on Saturday, July 28, 2018 at St. Mark Church, 9201 S. Avalon Avenue in Chicago. The warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease are often dismissed as side effects of normal aging. If individuals believe they or someone they know is experiencing memory loss or behavioral changes, it’s time to learn the facts. Early detection allows for a chance to begin drug therapy, enroll in clinical studies and plan for the future. Attendees will learn the ten warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease, hear from people who have the disease and find out how to recognize the signs. Presenters will also separate myth from reality and address commonly-held fears about Alzheimer’s in America. The end of Alzheimer’s disease starts here. To register for this program offered at no cost, call 847.933.2413 or register online at www.alz.org/illinois.
