Bowling Green, OH (November, 2019) – Are you concerned about memory loss? Interested in finding out how your memory is now as a baseline for future comparison?
On November 12, 2019 from 10-12 p.m. the Wood County Committee on Aging (WCCOA) will be offering free, confidential memory screenings and information about successful aging at the Wood County Senior Center, located at 305 North Main Street in Bowling Green. Earlier in the day at 9:00a.m. join us for a presentation by the Rehabilitation Hospital of Northwest Ohio on Traumatic Brain Injuries. Participants will also have the opportunity to visit with several vendors, play some brain games and win prizes!
A memory screening is like many other routine health check-ups. It’s a simple non-invasive test designed to gauge memory, language skills and other intellectual functions. Each screening takes approximately 30 minutes, and while the result is not a diagnosis, it can suggest if someone should see a physician for a full evaluation. Register now for your screening and to participate in this event on November 12! It’s a first step toward proper diagnosis and treatment – and the care you might need.
The National Memory Screening program is an initiative of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. You may learn more by visiting nationalmemoryscreening.org. To register for an appointment, call WCCOA at (419) 353-5661 or (800) 367-4935, or e-mail [email protected]
