SENIOR RESOURCES
Topics for Wellness series set
Providence Women’s Wellness Series presents “Where Did I Put My Keys?” a free forum on women and memory loss, Tuesday, Sept. 13 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Providence Portland Medical Center Amphitheatre, 4805 N.E. Glisan St. Free parking is available.
For the 50 percent of women who experience symptoms during menopause, many report feeling forgetfulness, insomnia, depression, and anxiety.
Providence Center on Aging Medical Director Carol Baird, M.D., will discuss the latest studies on why women experience memory loss during menopause, causing women to ask the question “Is it me or is it my hormones?” The good news is that feeling “foggy” during menopause is not necessarily a sign of Alzheimer’s. Dr. Baird will discuss menopausal memory loss and what women can do during menopause to maintain a healthy mind and healthy body.
Providence Women’s Health offers this opportunity for women to learn the latest information about their health and the health of their families. Relax and enjoy refreshments from sponsors Starbucks and New Seasons Market, as staff experts discuss health issues relevant to today’s women.
Space is limited and registration is required. For more information, or to register, call the Providence Resource Line at 503-574-6595.
