MGH offering free memory screenings in November
Marquette
General Health System will offer a series of free memory screenings
designed to raise awareness
among older adults and their caregivers about memory loss and normal
aging, and the signs, symptoms and need for early diagnosis of
Alzheimer’s disease.
The screenings will be held Wednesday, Nov. 3, Friday, Nov. 5, Thursday, Nov.
18 and Tuesday, Nov. 23, at Marquette General Hospital. If screening results
indicate a need for further testing, patients will be advised to see their
doctor.
Memory screenings are supported by funds from an Office of Rural Health Policy
grant and a partnership among MGHS, Portage Health System in Hancock, Keweenaw
Memorial Medical Center in Laurium, and Grand View Health System in Ironwood.
