Purpose of Meeting
Cognitive Testing and Brain Imaging Explained
Guest presenter: Victoria Williams, PhD
Join us for the third installment of the 2025 Healthy Living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) education series as we break down how doctors use cognitive tests and brain scans to understand changes in memory. You’ll learn why these changes might be happening and how these tests can help find answers. Whether you're experiencing these changes yourself or supporting someone who is, this program will help you feel more informed and prepared. The program will end with a Q&A session. It is free and open to all.
