OKLAHOMA CITY – Each year thousands are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the progressive, degenerative disease of the central nervous system. The disease can be very frightening to those who are afflicted with it and to their families.

Pennsylvania, The free Alzheimer’s screening series will continue with an additional memory loss screening on Wednesday, June 27, at Waterloo Road Baptist Church, 3100 E. Waterloo Road, with Tomas Owens, M.D.
Each program will begin with a light lunch at 11:30 a.m. followed by a noon presentation. After each presentation, mental health professionals will provide free memory loss screening tests at each site from 1 to 3 p.m. Reservations are required.
