Entendiendo la enfermedad de

Alzheimer y demencia

El 21 de octubre, SCRC llevó a cabo un taller educativo en persona titulado "Cuidando al cuidador: Entendiendo la enfermedad de Alzheimer y Demencia" en la Biblioteca Logan Heights. Nuestro Educador Comunitario presentó los orígenes, síntomas y desafíos de la enfermedad de Alzheimer, además de ofrecer valiosos consejos sobre comunicación y manejo del estrés a los asistentes. Para finalizar la noche, realizamos un sorteo donde dos afortunados ganaron tarjetas de regalo para Northgate Market. Agradecemos a todos los cuidadores y miembros de la comunidad que hicieron de este evento una experiencia increíble. Gracias al Consulado General de México en San Diego por patrocinar este evento como parte de la Semana Binacional de Salud.


Gracias a la Biblioteca Logan Heights por ser nuestro anfitrión, y a nuestros generosos donantes, Cozy Canine Coffee y L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, por proporcionar la cena a los asistentes.
