Overview
The Brain Health and Wellness SMA is a comprehensive lifestyle program designed to improve memory and prevent Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia in a series of six shared medical appointments. You will learn the latest research on lifestyle modifications for brain health and will practice several of the recommended activities during the appointments. Your individual medical concerns will be evaluated in a one-on-one appointment with a physician prior to the first SMA, in the shared medical appointments, and in a follow-up visit after the SMA series has ended.
The Brain Health and Wellness SMA is for adults of any age who are concerned about occasional memory lapses or who have a family history of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease and want to be proactive about their brain health.
