How sharp is your memory?

As people age, it's not unusual for people to forget information like events, dates and names.

Memory loss can stem from a variety of causes, including nutritional and metabolic disorders, depression, stroke and a thyroid imbalance.

Jewish Family & Career Services' Aviv Older Adult Services -- Tools for Aging division will host a free memory screening clinic from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on June 7. The 30-minute screenings are confidential and will be held at the organization's main office, 4549 Chamblee Dunwoody Road.  The clinic will also offer follow-up resources for older adults concerned about memory loss. Screenings are by appointment only. For information or to make an appointment, call 770-677-9411.
