Thursday July 18th will be an amazing opportunity for the public to attend a FREE Workshop on Alzheimer’s Disease: What it is and what can be done. This presentation will be lead by Joseph Gaugler, PhD. Dr. Gaugler is the Robert L. Kane Endowed Chair in Long-Term Care and Aging, and a Professor at the University of Minnesota.

He aims to improve the health and well-being of carers through innovative programs and technologies. Dr. Gaugler is currently on a statewide tour to meet with families and professionals to talk about Alzheimer’s disease, share information and stories, and help us realize we are not alone on the dementia journey.
