We are so excited to have Dr. Edward Zamrini, Director of Neurology at the Cleo Roberts Research Clinic at Banner Sun Health Research Institute, as our April 15 speaker. His topic: Good News in Alzheimer’s Research. He will share information on the current treatment, prevention and risk factors. He is a wonderful and sincere speaker and one you don’t want to miss.
Ed Zamrini, MD, a neurologist with expertise in cognitive and geriatric neurology, joined Banner Research as director of the memory center at Banner Sun Health Research Institute in July 2015. Dr. Zamrini joins the team from University of Utah where he served as a professor of neurology.
He has 25 years of expertise in the study of the brain and memory while also teaching at various universities and participating in review boards. He earned a doctor of medicine from American University of Beirut, located in Beirut, Lebanon.
Following the presentation, our time will be spent with members asking questions or sharing experiences. Our group provides information, resources and comfort for those residents who are caregivers for loved ones who have Alzheimer’s or any type of dementia. They could live in the home, at a local care facility or out of state.
Respite Care
We may be able to provide free respite care for those having Alzheimer’s/Dementia disease. This allows the caregiver the opportunity and peace of mind to attend the discussion group meeting. If you let us know we will try to arrange for someone to come to your home during the two hour meeting. For this assistance we do ask that you RSVP by Thursday, April 13.
Monthly Breakfast
The caregivers meet for breakfast on the first Saturday of each month at 9:00 a.m. This gives them an opportunity to get to know each other on a more personal level. Knowing others who are going through the same journey is very beneficial.
Please note: Our meetings are for Alzheimer’s/Dementia CAREGIVERS only. We meet from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. For the location of the meeting or to RSVP for respite care, please contact Rayma at 623-935-1819 or send an email to [email protected].
