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 Thursday, Nov. 10, at Marquette General;
Monday, Nov. 14, at the Marquette Senior Center; and Thursday,
Nov. 17, at the Forsyth Senior Center. 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.
Registration is required. To make an appointment, call 1-800-562-9753,
ext. 3405.
