Reducing the Risk of Dementia

Meeting Room, Deer Park. We discuss health equity, which is when everyone can attain their full potential for health and well-being; the social determinants of health, which are the non-medical conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age; and factors that may reduce the risk of dementia and other memory changes. Community Partners: SHIBA & ALTCEW Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) provide free, unbiased, and confidential counseling services and are part of the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner.
