The National Indian Health Board and the Alzheimer's Association invite you to their upcoming webinar on July 26, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. (ET) on the National Brain Health for Tribal Nations Project, highlighting the work of four Tribal Nations working to address Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in their communities.

 

Opportunity for Input for 2023-2027 HBI Road Map   The Alzheimer’s Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have begun developing the fourth edition of the Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) Road Map for State and Local Public Health, the core document of the HBI Road Map Series. This new edition will be an expert guidebook for state and local public health practitioners to advance the vision of the HBI: to fully integrate cognitive health and caregiving into public health practice.   State and local public health agencies, as well as other interested organizations and individuals, are invited to provide input until August 15 on the Road Map’s proposed content, to enhance its relevance and usefulness. This input will be analyzed and presented to the Leadership Committee for consideration as they prepare their final recommendations for the updated Road Map.

The Brain Health Academy: Dementia and Nutrition    The Brain Health Academy offers free, evidence-based courses for health and wellness professionals on ways to help people reduce their risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Continuing education credit will be offered through a partnership with the American Society on Aging. The courses are scheduled on the second Wednesday of each month and will be recorded. Recordings will be available on-demand for up to 60 days after the live presentation.   The second course, Dementia and Nutrition, is on July 20 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET.  This session provides strategies to assess diet quality and uses that information to help individuals make healthy dietary modifications to build cognitive resilience. If you are a nurse, nutritionist, or fitness professional, this course is a must for putting patients and clients on a path toward a healthier body and mind.
