About the program: For centuries, we've known that the health of the brain and the body are connected. But now, science is able to provide insights into how to make lifestyle choices that may help you keep your brain and body healthy as you age. Join us to learn about research in the areas of diet and nutrition, exercise, cognitive activity and social engagement, and use hands-on tools to help you incorporate these recommendations into a plan for healthy aging.

About the speaker: Gene Girimonte met the love of his life, Art Curtis, over 35 years ago. Together they dealt with the loss of family, civil rights issues and eventually Alzheimer’s. With the support of the Alzheimer’s Association, and other local organizations, Gene was able to care for Art until Art passed in 2018, seven years after his diagnosis. Gene is now a volunteer Community Educator for the Alzheimer’s Association so that he can help other caregivers who may feel alone.
