January is Alzheimer's Awareness Month

Hastings – Prince Edward

January is Alzheimer's Awareness Month! Let's talk about the importance of brain health.

January is National Alzheimer Awareness Month here in Canada!
This Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, we’re on a mission to spread brain health and dementia awareness. From brain-healthy tips to the warning signs of dementia, we’ve got the resources you need to take care of yourself and your loved ones. Plus be sure to check out our upcoming brain health and Alzheimer's Awareness Month events!
