Can Alzheimer’s be stopped? This was the topic of Dr. Andrew Frank’s presentation at the Revera Windsor Park Retirement Residence on October 12th, 2018. He spoke to over 100 people who wanted to know more about what researchers are doing in advancing dementia care and the current cutting-edge research happening in this field at Bruyère.
Marie McNamara-Kilian, of the Bruyère Clinical Trials Research Unit, also spoke to the crowd about what it means to participate in a clinical trial. She informed the audience about recruitment, the increasing need for public participation in research, and what people need to know if they would like to participate in a clinical trial.
Visavie, Retire-At-Home Services, and Revera Retirement Living were instrumental in connecting our presenters to the community. Thanks to them, Bruyère’s presentation was a big success. More events are planned across the greater Ottawa area over the next year.
