November is National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month

Posted

Elder Network is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit serving our communities since 1988. We have been serving Dodge County since 2022, and are working to provide the community with supportive services and information for older adults and caregivers. November is National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month and we want to take the time to remember those living with Alzheimer’s Dementia and their family members who comprise 102,000 people in Minnesota living with Alzheimer’s dementia. According to Mayo Clinic, Alzheimer’s disease can “cause brain cells to die over time and the brain to shrink,” which can lead to memory loss and cognitive decline. We want to promote the importance of cognitive health and taking steps to protect your memory and overall health.

That’s why Elder Network is hosting a virtual Alzheimer’s Association webinar on “Building Brain-Healthy Habits.” This free online webinar will teach the importance of brain health and healthy habits for your brain. Join us virtually on Wednesday, November 18th, 2026 from 2-3pm to learn more. Pre-registration is required. Once registered, an email with a Zoom link will be sent to out closer to the presentation date.

Please contact Pa Cha Vang, Dodge County Program Manager to register for the webinar, or for caregiver support, educational opportunities, and referrals to our programs. Contact Pa Cha at 507-285-5272 or pachav@elder-network.org.
