Memory Screening Program-Westbury

     Senator Elaine Phillips and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) will be sponsoring a free memory screening program on Thursday, February 16th from 10 am to 1 pm at the Westbury Library (445 Jefferson Street, Westbury).

     Screenings consist of a series of questions to gauge memory, language and thinking skills.  The memory screening takes approximately 10 minutes and is confidential.  Participants will be provided with the results on-site.  Results are not a diagnosis, but a memory screening can suggest if someone should see a physician for a full evaluation.

     The program is free of charge and open to everyone, however appointments are required and will be scheduled on a first come, first served basis.

     Residents wishing to get a free memory screening on February 16th can schedule an appointment by calling Senator Phillips’ office at 516-746-5924.
