Alzheimer's Association Offers Complimentary Events in Kenton County This Month
The Alzheimer's Association Greater Cincinnati Chapter is offering a series of free programs this month, aimed at supporting families through the Alzheimer's journey and providing insights into healthy aging.
On Thursday, September 18, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., the "Empowered Aging: Health, Wealth & Memory Care" event will take place at the Springboro Chamber, 115 Wright Station Way, Springboro, OH. This event will offer answers and insights on various aging-related topics, including Medicare changes, retirement planning, and memory health. Free lunches will be provided during the event.
Dayna Ritchey, the program director for the Alzheimer's Association Greater Cincinnati and Miami Valley Chapters, will be leading the discussion. The programs offered by the Alzheimer's Association focus on supporting families through the Alzheimer's journey and helping individuals approach memory concerns with loved ones, learning more about dementia.
Registration for these programs can be done at the Association's 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 or on the Association's website at alz.org/cincinnati/events.
Another event, "Healthy Living for Your Brain and Body," is scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, from 2 p.m.-3 p.m., at the Kenton County Public Library Erlanger Branch, 401 Kenton Lands Rd, Erlanger. This event will provide insights into lifestyle choices that may help keep the brain and body healthy as you age.
In addition, the "10 Warning Signs" program is scheduled for Wednesday, September 24, 2025, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., at the Kingswood Park-Activity Center, 4188 Irwin Simpson Road, Deerfield Township, OH. This program will cover common signs of Alzheimer's and other dementias, how to recognize them, early detection benefits, the diagnostic process, and Alzheimer's Association resources.
Science has proven the connection between brain and body health, and these events aim to equip attendees with the knowledge they need to maintain their health as they age. As of 2022, the number of people living with Alzheimer's disease in the U.S. exceeded 7 million, making it crucial for individuals to be informed about the disease and its warning signs.
Deaths due to Alzheimer's more than doubled (142%) between 2000 and 2022, while deaths from the leading cause of mortality (heart disease) decreased by 2.1%. These statistics underscore the importance of understanding and addressing Alzheimer's disease.
Join the Alzheimer's Association Greater Cincinnati Chapter for these informative and empowering events. Together, we can work towards a future where Alzheimer's disease no longer poses such a significant threat to our health and wellbeing.
