As we age, the specter of Alzheimer’s and dementia can loom bigger and bigger — especially if you’ve got a family history. If you’ve experience warning signs like memory lapses or personality changes, there’s no better time to get a free memory screening, offered by ProMedica on Tuesday, November 13. The day is designated National Memory Screening Day by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, and it’s a great chance to get the facts you need. The screenings take approximately half an hour, and, while they’re no substitute to talking with your doctor, will give you valuable information to help you go forward.
9am-4pm. ProMedica Flower Hospital Goerlich Center, 5320 Harroun Rd. Call ahead to schedule at 419-824-1250. www.promedica.org
