Join us to learn more about dementia. We’ll explore how Alzheimer’s affects the brain, causes and risk factors, stages of the disease and treatment.

About the Event

AARP Virginia, along with the Alzheimer's Association of Southeastern Virginia Chapter, presents Brian Bites, a four-part series focused on Alzheimer’s awareness and brain health.

Session Three is for anyone who would like to know more about Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging — it’s a progressive and fatal brain disease and the most common form of dementia.

We’ll explore:

How Alzheimer’s affects the brain
Detection
Causes and risk factors
Stages of Alzheimer's disease
Treatment
and much more!
