An Aging forum: Memory Tune-up will be held from 2-3:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 23, at rooms J and R of the Henslee Conference Center at Jefferson Regional Medical Center.
The event is sponsored by South Central Center on Aging-University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Center and JRMC.
The memory tune-up topics will include an overview of changes that can occur with aging, ways to possible prevent or slow cognitive decline, Brain Games vs Cognitive Programs and an overview of upcoming cognitive programs.
The speaker will be Patti Said, executive director of New England Cognitive Center. According to the release, the center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and dissemination of innovative, evidence-based cognitive training programs.
“Has your memory been running a little ‘rough’ lately? Lost your car keys? Forgot where you parked the car? Don’t lose your mind. Come in for a memory tune-up and learn how you can keep your brain running on all cylinders,” a spokesman said in a news release. “This workshop will focus on the changes that occur in the brain as we age — and it’s not all bad news — and what we can do to try and prevent some of the declines often associated with aging. Learn how you can spend your golden years as a cognitive classic — not a wreck.”
