UH Ahuja Medical Center Wednesday Night Wellness Series Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Wednesday, October 14 • 6 p.m. Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. It is the most common form of dementia and is often diagnosed when memory loss starts interfering with daily life. Please join Alan Lerner, MD, and Tricia Vidovic to learn more about the causes, symptoms and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. Dr. Lerner is the Director of the University Hospitals Neurological Institute’s Brain Health & Memory Center. He is board-certified in neurology. He currently sees patients in Beachwood. Tricia Vidovic is an education and outreach coordinator at the Alzheimer’s Association Cleveland Area Chapter. Tricia studied gerontology at Cleveland State University and has worked with people in middle and end stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging, even though the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer’s are 65 and older. Current Alzheimer’s treatments cannot stop Alzheimer’s from progressing, but they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. This program is free to the public. Food and refreshments will be provided in the Enid B. and David M. Rosenberg, MD Conference Suite. To register, email AhujaWellnessProgram@UHhospitals.org or call 216.285.4069. To reserve your spot online for the LIVE webinar, visit UHAhuja.org/WNWS.
