Do you find yourself
forgetting names, wondering what you are looking for, or have trouble
retrieving that thought? You are not alone. Join Alina Carter, MS, CCC-SLP, Speech-Language
Pathologist at Emerson Hospital for an informative talk on November 15 about key
strategies for keeping the mind sharp and healthy at every age.
The Brain
Fitness: Tips for a Healthy Mind workshop is hosted by The Thoreau Club, as

Ms. Carter will discuss
typical cognitive-linguistic changes in the brain as you age. In
