The Latest On Alzheimer's and Dementia

On Saturday, August 6 at 11 a.m., renowned physician and researcher Ian A. Cook, M.D. of UCLA will present, “An Update on Alzheimer’s and Other Types of Dementia.” Dr. Cook will discuss the latest research and treatments for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
