Alzheimer's Association | Programs

The Greater Pennsylvania Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association offers a variety of programs to the community.

Just rolled out by the Alzheimer’s Association’s National Office is the program 10 Warning Signs: Early Detection Matters. It has power point slides and video clips. The message is that early detection is so important.

If you would like to schedule a program contact Lois Lutz, 412-261-5040 x106. Lois is now scheduling November programs, so if you are thinking ahead to Spring this would be a great time to schedule dates. They ask that a minimum of 15 people be signed up for the program in advance of the scheduled day and time. Thanks to Lois for her valued partnership!
