LAPORTE HOSPITAL OFFERS FREE PROGRAM ON ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE More than 50,000 Hoosiers over the age of 65 are afflicted by a disease that robs them of their memory, causes personality changes and leaves many unable to care for themselves. The cause of this suffering is Alzheimer’s Disease, a progressive disorder of the brain affecting more than 4 million American adults. It is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. LaPorte Hospital is sponsoring a free program on Alzheimer’s Disease on Tuesday, July 28, at 1:00 p.m. at Heritage Place, 901 Lincolnway. No preregistration is necessary for this seminar. Presented by Mark Laker, M.S., a Health Education Consultant with the Indiana State Board of Health, the program will focus on causes, symptoms, testing and treatment of the disease as well as the concerns of families and caregivers. "It’s a tragic disease”, Laker said. "Often, it is barely detectable in its early stages. Then, as the disease progresses, simple forgetfulness may increase to more noticeable memory loss. In later stages of the disease, other changes may occur in thought, personality and behavior — changes that can render the Alzheimer’s patient incapable of caring for oneself or communicating his needs to others.” Laker, who recently edited a book entitled, Alzheimer’s Disease: A Family Care Guide, 1989,” has worked with older adults since 1974. He has taught at the University of Indianapolis and at Indiana University, and currently serves on the education committee of the Indianapolis Alzheimer’s Association. Laker has also developed and presented seminars across the country on working with institutionalized older adults. For more information on this presentation, contact Norma Sterchi, Staff Development, at 3262322. VISITING IN WALKERTON Jennie Masterman, of Hano, Texas, is visiting Vi and Richard Masterman for two and a half weeks.
