National Memory Screening Day

As you know, November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. For the 4th consecutive year, the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) is bringing together organizations and healthcare professionals from across the United States for the National Memory Screening Day on November 13, 2007. As part of the focus on "Together for Care . . . in addition to Cure," participating sites are providing free confidential memory screenings, follow-up resources, and educational materials to those concerned about memory loss.

This collaborative event is part of the ongoing national effort to promote early detection of Alzheimer's disease and related illnesses. Memory screenings are an important first step toward early detection and appropriate intervention, including medical treatments, social services, and other resources. They are not solely for those who are concerned about recent memory changes, but for anyone who would like to determine their current score as a basis for comparison in the future.

Screening sites have been established throughout the United States, making it simple to find a convenient location and time. Don't wait. Mark your calendar - November 13, 2007 - and choose the site that works best for you. Like watching your blood pressure and cholesterol or regular exercise and a healthy diet, this is just one more tool to help maintain a lifestyle that promotes Successful Aging.

Without a doubt, seeking a cure to Alzheimer's is important. However, we must not overlook the need for continuing quality care for those who suffer from this disease. Please contribute to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America and come "Together for Care . . . in addition to Cure."
