Excited for #AAIC24 PIA day! Presenting with colleagues at the @NeuroPsychPIA then helping to host @ClinTrialsPIA as Programs Chair then off to @alzdemjournals Editorial Board meeting!! Busy beautiful day! 💜🧠
We honored the #Juneteenth holiday by serving our community. It was our pleasure to promote brain 🧠 health within our community, as stroke and its risk factors disproportionately affect African-Americans. Thank you @NeuroUky @UKSBCoA@UKCOMSNMA

Shouting far and wide! @AOTAInc@AOTFoundation@EngagedAgingLab Dementia care is neuroscience for occupational engagement to prolong quality of life. ~90% of ppl w/ADRD have behavioral and psych symptoms that increase mental health conditions for caregivers! OT can help both ppl!
Alzheimer's disease causes the brain to shrink and brain cells to die. UK's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging works to improve the health of people living with Alzheimer's and related conditions.
Thanks to @KentuckyWBB for helping us in our mission to end Alzheimer's.
