Tomorrow is National Memory Screening Day

The Alzheimer's Foundation of America is again sponsoring a National Memory Screening Day in which you or someone you know can be screened for memory loss at one of many sites around the nation, state and even San Diego County.

For a complete listing, visit the AFA Web site.

According to the site, "Memory screenings make sense for anyone concerned about memory loss or experiencing warning signs of dementia; whose family and friends have noticed changes in them; or who believe they are at risk due to a family history of Alzheimer's disease or a related illness. Screenings also are appropriate for anyone who does not have a concern right now, but who wants to see how their memory is now and for future comparisons."

For local screenings and contact information, here is a rundown from the site that includes the location and if the service is offered in Spanish:
