Past: Alzheimer's Association's Care & Conquer Education Seminar

Area residents are invited to learn about Alzheimer’s research, caregiving tips, support available and more at the Alzheimer’s Association St. Louis Chapter’s 6th Annual Care & Conquer Education Series. The seminar will take place on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Osage Center, located at 1625 N Kingshighway St. in Cape Girardeau, MO. Care & Conquer is the region’s premier education event for people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Today, more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. With Alzheimer’s projected to rise exponentially in the years to come, raising awareness and educating community members is important in order to ensure proper care for people living with the disease and their caregivers.
