10th Annual Brain Health Forum
Are you a caregiver to someone with Alzheimer’s or other dementia? Do you have questions like When can I find the time to make dinner? Who will watch Mom, so I can shop for groceries? How can I make the house safer for Dad to navigate? Should we be discussing medications with their primary care physician? Have you been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or some form of dementia? Do you have questions like What is my risk? Is it different between males and females? Is there some test I can take, like a blood test? Are there any medications available? Are they covered by insurance or Medicare? What about clinical trials? And perhaps, most significantly, what are the evidence-based practices that can reduce my risk? This year’s 10th Annual Brain Health Forum will answer many of these questions. In addition, you will find numerous resource tables of local community organizations offering care support services and other programs. Need a meal quickly or regularly? Need to install grab bars in the bathroom, but are limited by finances or know-how? If you’re unsure what help is even available—or how to begin—this is a no-pressure, welcoming space to explore your options and leave with real, usable solutions.
Join the Alzheimer’s Association of Northern California and Northern Nevada and Congressman Ami Bera (CA-06) for the 10th Annual Brain Health Forum — a free community event focused on protecting your brain through healthy habits, expert insights, and local support resources.
