1411 W Main Street
League City, TX

Date: 9/27/2016

The warning signs of Alzheimer???s disease are often
dismissed as side effects of normal aging. If you or someone
you know is experiencing memory loss or behavioral

you a chance to begin drug therapy, enroll in clinical studies
and plan for the future.

Attend this interactive workshop to learn the 10 Warning
Signs of Alzheimer???s disease. We???ll separate myth from
reality and address commonly-held fears about Alzheimer???s
in America. Hear from people who have the disease and find
out how to recognize the signs in yourself and others.
