Effingham Public Library Hosts Effingham Area Alzheimer’s Awareness 

Shannon Nosbisch of Effingham Area Alzheimer’s Awareness will discuss the differences between medically treatable memory loss and confusion as a part of normal aging, and memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia. 

This free presentation will be on Tuesday, September 13 at 6:00 PM in the Workman Room, which is located on the Library’s lower level. 

Effingham Area Alzheimer's Awareness is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization founded to provide support and education to all families, caregivers, and persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia in Effingham County and the surrounding area.  They strive to provide support for rural communities affected by dementia. 

Ms. Nosbisch will also discuss how to get a diagnosis, what to expect at your visit and why it is important to get an early diagnosis.  She will talk about what researchers and doctors are saying is the best way to reduce one’s chances of developing Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia.
