📅June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease, and that number continues to grow. While Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging, staying physically active, socially connected and mentally engaged can help support overall brain health. Whether through senior centers, volunteer opportunities or community programs, meaningful connections matter.
