St. John's Institute for Cognitive Health Announces Upcoming Events

28-Apr-2011

Cognitive Health Presentation and Book Club
On Monday, May 2, Martha Stearn, MD and Carol Taylor, LCSW of St. John's Institute for Cognitive Health will deliver a free community presentation on "Strategies for Maintaining Brain Wellness." The presentation will take place at Teton County Library in Jackson, WY, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

"Alzheimer's disease has become an alarming national epidemic, and increasing numbers of Jackson Hole community members are inquiring about how to preserve their cognitive health. Carol and I look forward to sharing proactive and preventive measures that will help achieve this goal," said Dr. Stearn.

This event also marks the launch of the Hungry Brain Book Club. Led by Dr. Stearn and Ms. Taylor, this community book club will meet every other month to explore novels, non-fiction books and articles about the brain. Participation is free and everyone is welcome. No long-term commitment is necessary. Please call 307.203.2454 with questions about the May 2 event or book club.
