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. This series of four awareness programs is each approximately 1 to 1.5 hours each.

Session 1: 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer's
Session 2: Healthy Living for the Brain and Body
Session 3: Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia
Session 4: Legal and Financial Planning for Alzheimer's Disease
