June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month
Worldwide, more than 55 million people are living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. To make headway against these challenges, FCMG joins the Alzheimer's Association in recognizing June as Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month -- and we encourage our staff and patient community to join us in "going purple" to raise awareness of brain-health! (The more that people know about Alzheimer's, the more action we inspire!)
Things you can do:
- Visit and take action at the Association's website
- Follow, share, and stay apprised of developments in the fight against Alzheimer's disease on the Alzheimer's Association Facebook page
- Join the Go Purple Facebook group, which keeps you informed and provides tools like the "Go Purple" challenge and a graphic emblem you can add to your own Facebook profile, to honor someone you know of love who struggles with Alzheimer's
- Learn more about Alzheimer's from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and review/download the agency's comprehensive "Healthy Brain Initiative" (aka: State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia: The 2018-2023 Road Map)
