Alzheimer's Awareness Programs

Lake County has the highest incidence of Alzheimer's disease and dementia out of all counties in Indiana. There is a growing need for early detection, support, and assistance for residents living in our area. 

Linda Curley, Purdue University Extension Educator, Health and Human Sciences has partnered with the Alzheimer's Association to provide community-based programming in Lake County. 

If you are interested in Alzheimer's awareness programs, contact Linda Curley via email lcurley@purdue.edu or call 219-755-3240.
