The Alzheimer’s Association Greater Cincinnati Chapter is hosting several free programs this month.
“Our free programs focus on supporting our families through every part of the Alzheimer’s journey,” said Dayna Ritchey, program director for the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Cincinnati and Miami Valley Chapters.
“Whether you’re looking for ways to approach a loved one about memory concerns, or just learn more about the dementia, we offer the programs and services that can help you.”
Register for these and other programs at the Association’s 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 or at alz.org/cincinnati/events.
