During her presentation, Ms. Kilpatrick discussed:

• Changes that occur in memory function as a normal part of aging — and the importance of distinguishing among normal aging, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other factors that may be present.
• What experience has shown her about how to best meet the needs of seniors and the upcoming baby boomers with memory concerns.
• What is the current best thinking on brain health – separating myth and hype from what has been proven helpful.
• How community organizations, including senior centers, can support seniors as they seek to make the sometimes difficult lifestyle changes that tend to promote brain health.
