Brain Health Updates
Do you have a brain? Well then, you won’t want to miss this!
K-State Research and Extension is partnering with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Alzheimer’s Association to provide a Brain Health Update for all Extension agents and interested community partners. There will be NO cost to attend; lunch and materials are being provided by our wonderful partners! Although much of this information will focus on issues potentially faced by older adults, there will be a lot of great information presented that can be of benefit to people of all ages – so don’t disregard this opportunity.
Presenters will include:
• Yours truly

• KU’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center
Topics to be covered:
• The current status of Alzheimer’s disease research and what we’ve learned
• An overview of the KU Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and the resources they provide for all Kansans (not just Jayhawks)
• Information on clinical trials and how to get involved
• Tips for current/future Alzheimer’s caregivers and loved ones of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias
• Resources for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementia and their families/caregivers
