Community Town Hall Conversation on Cognitive Health Offered for East Providence

Posted

 More than 23,000 Rhode Islanders are living with Alzheimer’s disease. With the aging of our population, this number is expected to climb in the next few years. Our cities, towns and state will need to take action—and we want to hear from the community.

The Alzheimer’s Association, Rhode Island Chapter, will be hosting a series of community town hall conversations on cognitive health across the state to collect input from Rhode Islanders whose lives have been impacted by the disease.

Residents of East Providence are invited to attend our Community Town Hall Conversation on Cognitive Health on Thursday, December 5th, at the Evergreen House, 1 Evergreen Dr., East Providence, RI 02914.

Anyone living in Warwick, Lincoln, Woonsocket, Central Falls, Pawtucket, or Cranston with an interest is welcome—persons living with dementia, family and professional caregivers, health and long-term care workers, curious citizens, students, state and local legislators, community leaders and first responders.

When: Thursday, December 5th, 8:30 am
Where: Evergreen House, 1 Evergreen Dr., East Providence, RI 02914
