OCAW-SVC has been a longtime partner working with the Alzheimer’s Association, Chinese Chapter for the Northern California and Northern Nevada region. Before the pandemic, the Chinese American chapter had hosted a full-day forum inviting experts in dealing with Alzheimer’s and Dementia to speak. This year, presentations were held via Zoom, and were divided into three separate events:
(1) Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia – the importance of early detection and care, the latest scientific developments, and how to avoid getting the disease. The event was held on Saturday, March 12, 2022 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
(2) Brain health awareness – learn the healthy habits for protecting our brains, and identify early signs of Alzheimer’s. This event was held on Tuesday, March 15 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
(3) Understanding different stages of Alzheimer’s. Learn how to communicate with your loved one who suffers from this disease, so we can fulfill their needs. This was held on Thursday, March 17 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
