Alzheimer meeting for Arima

Dr Lorraine Patience, a general practitioner with a special interest in care of the elderly, and recently elected member of the AzATT board, will speak on Dealing with violent behaviour of persons with Alzheimer’s disease.

“We had a very good turnout last Saturday,” says Ann Smith, the new president of the AZATT . “Among the new people attending were two who specifically mentioned that they had read the Newsday article on March 30 which prompted them to come to the meeting. There might have been others....One of the high priorities of the new board is to raise awareness of the association while making ourselves more visible.

“We are currently working on a calendar of events with a view to giving the general public advance notice of upcoming events which will include events hosted by our four support groups: Port-of-Spain, Arima, San Fernando and Tobago.” The meeting is open to the public.
