Your Kidneys & You
Did you know that your kidneys filter your blood up to 25 times a day? Get to know your kidneys with Renee Hynds, Director of Patient Programs at the Arizona Chapter of the National Kidney Foundation. Learn all about your kidneys, how they work, the risk factors of kidney disease and steps you can take to keep your kidneys healthy as we celebrate National Kidney Awareness Month!
The Aging Spine
As we age, changes in our spine lead to stiffness, pain, and even mobility issues-but not all back pain is inevitable or untreatable. Dr. Alec Sundet from Sonoran Spine will help you understand how the spine changes with age, what symptoms deserve attention, and what you can do to maintain strength, flexibility, and quality of life.
Understanding the Signs of Dementia
It can be difficult to know what to do if you’ve noticed changes in yourself or a family member or friend- particularly changes related to memory loss, thinking or behavior. Learn the difference between normal memory changes and the changes that happen with dementia, how dementia progresses, and when it’s time to get help. This presentation is offered by Hospice of the Valley.
Memory Café
Memory Cafés provide a social and resource place for people living with memory loss and their care partners. Caregivers participate in an educational and/or support session while people with memory loss actively participate in a cognitive engagement program.
Caring Connections
Caring Connections is a monthly support group for couples to attend together—where one partner is living with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Early-Stage Dementia. The focus is on staying connected, sharing joys and challenges, and receiving support to navigate the journey as a team. Each session includes social time, brain-healthy snacks, activities, and both emotional and practical support.
Registration is not required.
