Maintaining a healthy brain into our later years is something we all hope for. Do you wonder what a healthy brain should be able to do at your age and whether the changes you are experiencing are “normal?” Do you know what to do to strengthen your brain going forward? Best practices on preserving brain functioning are the focus of our July program presented by Louisa Whitesides, MD.
