We loved seeing our community come together to support the Alzheimer’s Association through an evening of fun and competition.

When was the last time your doctor checked your brain health? 🧠🩺

If you're like most people, the answer is probably never.

A new guide from our Director, Dr. Beth Fauth, and PhD student, Josey Batura, sheds light on a surprising fact: Doctors do not routinely test for memory problems during annual checkups unless you specifically ask for it.

Why does this matter?

1. You could miss out on treatment: New medications for Alzheimer's require early detection to work.

2. It might not be dementia: Sometimes, brain fog or memory deficits are caused by stress or other treatable conditions—but you won't know unless you test!

3. It’s covered: If you have Medicare Part B, this testing is often free.

Be your own brain advocate: Next time you see your primary care doctor, ask for a cognitive screening. It only takes a few minutes and gives you a baseline for your future health.
